Obama devours Apple

So, Apple's latest übercool aspirational wowbox is finally here. Whoop-de-doo.

The device happened to be launched on the same day as Barack Obama's
first State of the Union address and research from tech review site Retrevo tracked the online buzz surrounding both of the events.

The president will doubtless be utterly unmoved by the fact that his landmark speech attracted a peak of 9,000 Tweets per minute, some 1,600 ahead of Steve Jobs' iPad oration. Apparently.

In any case, both can afford to cock a snook at Britney Spears, who was barely breaking double figures at the time. Pah! My recent webinar (Zebras or Elephants? Strategising growth in the Cloud Savanna) attracted an impressive 27.

And counting.
