The newly announced Apple iPad, heralded by company CEO Steve Jobs in San Francisco this morning, will have major implications for the Irish economy too. Apple’s European Headquarters is based in Cork, Ireland where it employs over 1,000 people.

It's Apple's ability to innovate its way to profit even in the midst of a worldwide recession that is such a lesson to all tech firms everywhere.

Nicknamed the "iPhone on steroids" the new iPad release date will be April 2010. With the company's fortunes going from strength to strength and with products like the iPad breaking new technological ground year after year, both Apple and Ireland can look forward to a profitable 2010.

Steve Jobs equals more jobs for Ireland. That can only be a good thing.

Corporations are pretty adept at keeping the American work force in servitude too, chris butler. After this week they've also been given a golden ticket, courtesy of the right-wing Supreme Court, to actually govern them too. How about that for servitude?

How much in subsidies, tax breaks, expense accounts and other nick knacks will it take to create an image of an economy. The trouble with American corporations is that they get too much help from politicians in Ireland and keep the Irish as a ready made workforce, in servitude. @Cahir O'Doherty You should read article 4 of the Declaration of Human Rights.
