I think Apple went out of their way to make it seem like iPad2 is a long-running product: - end of video, Ive saying "iPad2 will define the category for years to come" - 2011: the year of iPad2 Both of these are, I believe, explicit attemp

yes, we'll optimize for speed soon (but we hope to optimize at the right time). bedroom and dining room are next on the list. getting visitors is indeed the big challenge. SEO, viral/social, and SEM (in that order) are what we'll focus o
