One Very Big Typewriter

This giant iPad billboard went up earlier this month at a construction site near the main railway station of Hauptbahnhof in Berlin, Germany.

  2. Great. I hope it inspires some Berliners to buy --- not an iPad or a miTypewriter app, but a typewriter.

    The campaign is worldwide. I saw it in London tube stations and on the BART system in the SF Bay Area, where I took my picture.

  3. Hmpgh.

    I've read in several financial columns that Apple is losing its edge as an innovative company... and something tells me this display is proof of that. If they have to use the image of an (analog, mechanical) typewriter and make their "bestest of best" digital product mimic a typewriter, then maybe it's time they start making a proper typewriter...
