Links for Wednesday February 2^nd, 2011

• Unreleased Apple iPad spotted at news event: Great scoop from Reuters.

• Justin Blanton: On the new Readability service: This is an interesting way for web publishers to get paid, but I think it's going to be extraordinarily difficult for Readability to get traction (just like every other web micro-payment scheme that has been tried). That being said, I wish them the best of luck.

• The Future of Cheap Androids Begins Now: $25 a month for 300 voice minutes and unlimited data? Holy moly, is that cheap. If these phones really start to proliferate, Apple is going to have to respond in kind.
