Apple's Ipad
Hello Everyone. I just wanted to say a bit about the Apple Ipad that was announced on the 27th. It's important to note that Steve Jobs did not say tablet throughout the keynote. He used the word "mobile device." Through all the speculation and rumors, people thought that it would be some sort of tablet device. Apple cannot call it a tablet device because that simply would not be true. The screen real estate is pretty big. I'm not sure if it will be a kindle killer just yet. The kindle has its own niche and its very good at what it does. The Ipad is more of a mobile computing device. It seems like more of a home type device. Steve Jobs and other Apple Executives were sitting on the couch while using it. One of the biggest disappointments was that there is no flash support. People who may be on the fence for the device may not buy it for this reason. As far as gaming goes, the device is fairly big to carry around. The one accessory that looked good for the Ipad was the cover. It was stylish and professional-looking. The people most likely to buy the device is people who are fans of apple and those seeking a larger screen. Some people have noted file management issues. That is an issue and Apple is most likely working on a solution. Perhaps documents and files will be stored on mobile me, but that is just my own speculation. What are your thoughts on the Ipad? Is it a must-buy for you? What do you like or dislike about it?
