Okay, So it hasn't been a big surprise that apple was working on a tablet machine. Many of us online have been anticipating the release of what was being called the iSlate. Surprisingly it was recently released with the name iPad. If you ask me iSlate sounds so much better than i Pad, and you probably wouldn't have all those angry raging feminist who believe that the name is unacceptable because it reminds them of their special time. Regardless of the name the device has been released.
How is the Ipad?
I don't know. I haven't had the opportunity to play with it yet, but based on what I've been hearing it truly is a disappointment in all that is mac. To have a device like that that can't multitask, which my cell phone does, there is a problem. As far as I can tell the browsing experience looks pretty cool, the Ebook reader looks magnificent. I really like the page turning animation. But other than that I definitely do not see myself spending 500 bucks for this anytime soon.
I think if they had Photoshop available for this device a much larger audience would be making this leap of a purchase. But honestly who in their right mind would buy this. I can see this strictly being a kindle competitor but other than that, I say fail. If Mac were to continue selling classic iPods, Then come out with the iPad and then the Iphone and Ipod touch, I personally believe they would make much more profit. Because essentially the Ipad is the grandpa version of an Itouch. Who today would buy a big Motorola walkie talkie cell phone for 500 when you can get a Motorola flip phone for 200.
If i get a chance to get my hands on that, Ill be sure to post a video. If not, I'll just post a vivacious rant about how our expectations were not met with this device.
