One of my
first iPad impressions last year was how different it felt to hold moving images in your hands: "Watching HD videos on the iPad gives a strange sensation you don?t get from TV or laptop, a feeling of proximity, almost intimacy." Adam Lisagor, in a much longer post,
shared a similar feeling:
"The iPad is for the nightstand. And for the sofa, and for the places between where you stand in line and where you sit at your desk. That?s why every iPad poster and billboard features it on a lap or a knee. They?ve stopped short of showing it on a chest in bed, but that?s where mine gets its most use."
"To my mind, holding a 10? screen a foot from my face in a dark room is more immersive than staring blankly at a 40? screen twelve feet away."
"iPad. It?s TV for your chest?."
Which reminded me of an 1965 ad from
Bernbach's book for the new 5-inch TV sets by Sony that had become known, likely thanks to Bernbach, as tummy TVs ("so that your wife can sleep, we also include a personal ear plug").
