Within the 'Art' section I intend to collect various examples of the outstanding art being made on the iPad and, as my activity within pearltrees.com increases, I hope to include a section of the interactive literature that I feel is 'just around the corner.'
The Apple tree will also be something a zietgeist tree, in that it will feature current news; following the death of Steve P. Jobs this section will currently focus on the life of the great man.
Steve Jobs. What's next for Apple?
SAN FRANCISCO – Steve Jobs, high-tech's brightest star for more than a quarter century, left Apple in better shape than nearly any other American company: flush with cash, rolling in revenue, the envy of innovators everywhere.

That is likely to be a popular parlor game in Silicon Valley for the foreseeable future. "The job calls for a world-class leader, requiring vision, creativity and cojones," says Leander Kahney, author of Inside Steve's Brain. Whether Apple CEO Tim Cook— who took over for Jobs in August and brings an impressive résumé— can keep Apple humming like Jobs did remains an open question. Industry analysts who closely study the company's every move are somewhat mixed. "Tim's not Steve," says Gartner analyst Van Baker.
