I’m always excited about Apple announcements – and today’s announcement of the iPad 2 was just the latest example.

What was the keyword of the day today? It was Post-PC. The world of the iPad (and the iPhone and the iPod) is the world of Post-PC.

As payments geeks, can we envision our world evolving into one that’s Post-Card? Let’s hope so…

Are you ready? We can help.
