No, the first tweet says that a speaker at AEA recommended #333. And the second tweet says that H&FJ–an incredibly-highly respected type foundry—had been using an even lighter shade of #444 for all of the type specimens on their website.
Then, finally, it says that 4 days after the iPad launched (that's when this tweet happened) H&FJ had been noticing that black text looks best on the iPad (as opposed to all previous knowledge). And we have no update on their final decision about iPad type color.
