We weren’t really sold on this impersonation, but maybe it’s enough to fool Apple fans in Taiwan. A tea company has decided to use the iPad 2 and the likeness of Apple CEO Steve Jobs to promote its new tea flavors and an iPad 2 giveaway, reports blog Say It in 17 Words (via Engadget). While the actor isn’t exactly the next Darryl Hammond, he does look like a more youthful Steve Jobs. That’s not to say he looks like a young Steve Jobs; he doesn’t. No, he looks exactly like the Jobs of today, complete with a black shirt, blue jeans, balding gray hair, rimmed glasses, and a thin frame. He’s just 20-30 years younger. It’s as if he found the fountain of youth, but failed to dip his hair in.

In any case, if you’d like an iPad 2, make sure to buy Apple-infused Tong Yi Cha. If Steve Jobs presents it, it’s got to be good.

While it sounds like one of the company's most ambitious hardware bets in years on paper, it may never really hit the store shelves.

A subtle but potentially significant shift may be coming to the iPad lineup, and it has less to do with hardware and more to do with identity. In a recent interview with John Ternus and Greg Joswiak from Tom’s Guide, the company could rethink how it names future iPads - moving away from the familiar generation-based system.

Why I chose the Supernote Nomad over other e-ink tablets
The Supernote Nomad is the e-ink tablet I did not know I needed, and now I cannot put it down.
Supernote Nomad in hand

Supernote Nomad has become my favorite purchase of the last year, and believe me, the decision to buy it was not easy. I didn’t realize that the e-ink tablet landscape had become so vast, and all the tablets I looked at had at least a few compromises that were a deal breaker for me. 

Finally, after comparing and cutting out at least half a dozen e-ink tablets from my list, I settled on the Supernote Nomad. Yes, it also has some drawbacks, but there were five main reasons I settled on it.
