Apparently, Moleskine has developed a Apple iPhone & iPad application, and that it is in Apple's application queue waiting to be approved. This should be interesting ...

Moleskine: New Doodles Collection @ Target

Target1_490

Moleskine just announced today a new collection called Doodles. They will be launching exclusively at ®Target. Similar to their partnership with Barnes & Noble, ®Target now has a slice of the ever expanding "moleskine-pie".

All corporate bickering and "the man" speeches aside, this is a smart business move for Moleskine. @Target is gigantic untapped source for Moleskine expansion. We shall see what happens.

Honestly, they really aren't anything new. But it's just a fresh look and way for Moleskine to break into this new area/market.

From the press release today:

"Moleskine presents a new collection of notebooks launching exclusively at Target.

The collection includes ten notebooks from the Moleskine classic collection, accented with a colorful embossed covers and matching paper bands that celebrate one of three themesCreativityMemories, or Daily Life.

Each notebook features iconic Moleskine design and functionality, including rounded corners, strong elastic band closure, expandable inner pocket, and an insert explaining the history of the legendary notebook. Available in two popular sizes in either black or red hardcover, the Doodles Collection brings imagination and creativity to the everyday.

Doodles are fun and easy. They surround, emphasize, and point. Doodles intersect, separate, and run parallel. They accumulate, layer by layer, like the concentric circles on the cover of each notebook in the Moleskine Doodles Collection. Doodles capture the tales, moments, ideas that make up our lives. Our lives are a doodle of storylines waiting to be captured and shared."

I'm a sucker, so I'm gonna buy them, regardless of how others feel about their relationship with @Target (i.e. "selling-out", etc).

Enjoy!

Kyle Tezak » ISO50 Blog - Movie Concepts in Icon Form

These are slick. I know this has been done many times before, but this is done well. Bonus points for doing "The Great Gatsby" and "The Big Lebowski"

HP Unveils 3 New WebOS Devices

I just picked up a Verizon iPhone 4 (and it's awesome), but before that I had a Palm Pre for a year. I think it worked pretty well, though it was slow (probably a hardware issue?). But I enjoyed the user interface, all the gestural movements, and the Facebook integration to name a few.

With the imminent advent of these new HP WebOS devices, I think it will encourage folks to take a strong 1st or 2nd look at WebOS.

The HP TouchPad will especially gather attention as the tablet market is pretty hot right now.

It looks like the HP Veer is replacing the Palm Pixi from early 2010. It seems to have a bit larger screen than the Pixi, and it has a vertical slide out keyboard.

The HP Pre3 seems to be a revamped Palm Pre (2). The screen looks the same and the hardware looks identical. The biggest rework for most of these devices is the new and improved WebOS 2.0 Hopefully it is worth it!

I must say though, if HP wants to see WebOS achieve new heights they must get it on some NEW smartphones, not revamped old hardware. The HP TouchPad was an excellent step in the right direction! But it isn't as common of a consumer item as the smartphones.

I hope these devices do well. I really do want to see WebOS succeed as an alternative to Android an iOS. But, time will tell.
