BoomTown does not plan to get into the endless so-and-so launches an Apple iPad app news cycle, because it is not really news, except to the more breathless fanboy tech bloggers.
But Twitter’s intro of one tonight in the App Store is probably more important than most.
“Twitter for iPad,” said the company, “makes it even easier for people to explore Tweets and discover new content and accounts on Twitter.”
We’ll reserve judgement on that.

As promised,
All Things Digital is posting the full videos from our eighth
D: All Things Digital conference, held in early June.
Today is our final video post, and the honor goes to Microsoft for its innovative Project Natal, which has recently been renamed Kinect.
The new gesture-based controller for the Xbox requires that consumer use hands, arms, legs and even heads to interact with the game, but nothing else.

BoomTown is in Redmond, Wash. today to attend Microsoft’s annual Financial Analyst Meeeting, where top execs from the software giant have been taking the stage to talk about All Things Microsoft.
I liveblogged this morning’s sessions here, and now the afternoon confab, which opened with CEO Steve Ballmer, who seemed was confidently strutting around after delivering record results last week for the fourth quarter.
But can we turn around its lackluster stock?

Walt calls the iPhone 4 a major leap over its already-excellent predecessor, the iPhone 3GS.

Microsoft’s new Kinect motion control system has been squarely targeted at the gaming market, but the company has far greater plans for it: To bring to fruition a vision that Chairman Bill Gates has been talking about since early in the decade–a “disappearing computer” at the heart of the “digital home.”

Since Microsoft will be officially unveiling its Project Natal at the Electronic Entertainment Expo gaming show next week in Los Angeles, take a preview gander of it in action at the eighth
D: All Things Digital conference recently.
At E3, the software giant will give the innovative gesture-based controller for the Xbox a spanking new name and will likely announce other related features.

Recently, BoomTown uncloaked one of Silicon Valley’s hotter “stealth” start-ups, called Kakai, which I said was working on an advanced tablet device and related service aimed at students.
Today, Kakai is taking another step out of the shadows by changing its name to Kno, which is short for knowledge.
And you can see
exactly what the company has come up with at the eighth
D: All Things Digital conference, where it will be demoing the Kno for the first time in public.

The Washington Post, where I once toiled, asked me to do a short piece recently for a spring-cleaning feature in its Outlook section.
It was titled “Twelve Things the World Should Toss Out,” and BoomTown’s choice was physical computer keyboards and mice.
Before you go all technical on me, be warned: I wrote the piece on an Apple iPad with a virtual keyboard and touchscreen.
And frankly, if I could have all my blog posts downloaded directly from my noggin, it would be okay by me.
