News Insights:
  • As expected, last week's release of the Apple iPad has created quite a stir in the Wireless Applications News Radar. The Reader news element has made a strong inward movement in the radar space and established itself toward the center of the news radar. The Reader news element has also experienced the largest increase in article count of all the elements in the Wireless Applications News Radar. Once the initial media buzz surrounding the iPad's introduction wears off, it will be interesting to see if the Reader news element will maintain its dominant central position.
  • Apple released their iPad tablet device yesterday. As predicted, the Wireless Applications News Radar now displays group of clusters near the "Reader" news element. This element captures news about the iPad as well as similar devices like Amazon Kindle, the Sony E-Reader, and various wireless net books. The News Radar is now linking the Reader news element to applications like Games, Camera and Music. These new connections likely reflect some of the innovative capabilities of the iPad, as well as some recent developments in other wireless readers and net books. These connections between the Reader news element and well-established applications demonstrate these devices are quickly becoming a key news topic in the wireless industry.
  • This week the Pew Research Center released a poll on the public's priorities. On the top of this list are Jobs, Economy and Terrorism. As currently calculated, the News Radar reflects these Pew poll results with Economy, Jobs and Security (terrorism) at the center of the News Radar. The News Radar is also tracking the movement of Health Care away from the center.
  • Apple is expected to release their "tablet" device to the world today. Users of the Wireless Applications News Radar can expect to see a large cluster of articles around the "Reader" news element of the radar. It is also expected that a gray dot of Buzz articles will point in the direction of the iPhone news element. It should be interesting to watch whether or not "net books" or "tablets" will move to the center of the Wireless Applications radar, which would demonstrate a potentially dominant position of these devices in the wireless news space.
  • During the week of January 17th, the Healthcare news element began to move away from the center of the News Radar and away from the Obama news element. This movement and separation may be caused by the Obama administration's reaction to the election of a Republican senator in Massachusetts this week. Movement away from the center indicates the decreasing importance of Healthcare news among other political news topics.
  • Nokia has started to make a notable move toward the center of the News Radar, an indication that Nokia news is starting to return to its central place among news topics. Nokia is still currently positioned towards the periphery of the News Radar, as the iPhone and Google Wireless news elements forced their way into the center of wireless application news. 18 months ago, it would have been hard for one to imagine a communications giant like Nokia would be forced out of the spotlight by competing news ideas.
  • The LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) news element made a significant move toward the center of the News Radar. A movement towards the center often indicates many strengthening connections to central transportation sector ideas. Gasoline, Efficiency and Diesel are currently the central radar news elements.

  • The United States Political News Radar clearly supports the following statement in a Fox News article on why the Democrats lost the Senate race in MA

    ... Too much health care reform, not enough jobs: Several Democrats said the election was a clear sign that Americans have major concerns about the health care reform bill and want Washington to focus more on jobs.

    The News Radar shows Economy, Jobs, Security, Taxes, and Obama as the major news elements in the US political arena.
