In case you were wondering how Apple intended to advertise the iPad, the answer might just be "very well."
At Sunday's Grammys, Stephen Colbert approached the deeply onerous task of reading out the nominees for Song of the Year with singular glee. Because just as he looked lost, trying to remember where the list of nominees was, he whipped out an iPad from inside his jacket pocket.
It was real. It was on. When he turned it, the screen went from vertical to landscape. And you see how portable it is, people? You can slip one inside your dinner jacket. Even a rented dinner jacket.
Jay-Z joined in the amusement as Colbert wondered whether the rapper and mogul hadn't received an iPad in his gift bag, too. Colbert then asked his daughter, who was also in the audience, whether he finally looked cool. She demurred, with a pleasantly understated performance.
In case any of you might have wondered whether this was a complete coincidence and not a blatant and winning piece of what was once called product placement, might I suggest you cut down a little on some of your evening habits.

Apple’s new Multi-Touch device is designed to make navigating the web easier and intuitive, one page at a time.
200Linx was designed to be the ultimate, most convenient homepage for the iPad and other tablet PC.
200Linx is the homepage that brings you everything that's good on the Internet in one click, on one place.
They searched thousands of websites and surveyed hundreds of internet users to make the iPad user’s life easier.
They had one single question in mind: what are the most useful websites for most people? Or in other words: where do people spend their time online?
They gathered the findings in a single place, under one page, totally free: 200Linx.com.
Each page has 25 categories of websites: News, Sport, Weather, Health, E-mail services etc.
Each category consists of the 8 most useful websites. Total: 200 great links. As simple as that.
The best way to use 200Linx is to set it as your iPad’s Safari’s homepage, to add 200Linx to your Top Sites or to Bookmark it.
This way, whenever you start your Safari web browser you'll see 200Linx logos and will be able to find your favorite website immediately and navigate easily to them.
The logos are large, neat and readable.
200Linx is also a great way to discover new useful websites.
All you need to do is press a logo - and you're there.
200Linx looks great on the iPad in portrait and landscape positions and was fitted perfectly to both positions.
It is offered now in 7 local versions: U.S, U.K, Canada, Spain, France, Mexico and Germany. More local versions to come soon.
iPad is the best way to experience the web.
