Would You buy an iPad ?
We all know now, it’s not iSlate, not iTablet, but it’s an iPAD !!!
For some customers, as soon as they hear about “iPad”, the first thing that comes into their mind is nothing to do with electronic device but something that regularly use by the female customers. But it will go away when the name becomes more familiar in the market place.
So, would you buy an iPad ? i don’t know about you, but I have received orders for 2 already and it’s still 2 to 3 months away for the delivery. We don’t even know the pricing in Australia yet.
There are people commenting that iPad has not really introduced any new grounds or new technologies. Also there are a few desirable features which are not included in the new iPad. for example,built-in camera, OLED display, USB port, HDMI port etc. You will need to purchase the optional accessories (docking device) to get some of these features.
Like the applications for iPhone, when more and more developers introduce the new applications/games for the iPad, then, it will become a main stream product for the business and home users. Apple wasn’t promoting this area when they announced the new iPad last week.
it’s not a down graded Macbook/Macbook Pro, but a bigger iphone/iPod Touch. It’s running with iPhone operating system rather than the downgraded version of Mac OS X. also, Like the iPhones, it doesn’t support the Web sites that are running with Adobe Flash.
Here is the extract from macrumors.com
Steve Jobs held a town hall meeting with Apple employees late last week following the iPad launch. Wired reports on what was said at the meeting by Steve Jobs. Two of the biggest topics included Google and Adobe.
On Google, Jobs confirms the much-reported competition between the two companies.
On Google: We did not enter the search business, Jobs said. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We wont let them, he says.
As for Adobe, Jobs said they are lazy and Jobs blames Adobe for a buggy implementation of Flash on the Mac as one of the reasons they won’t support it.
Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy, he says. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not its because of Flash. No one will be using Flash, he says. The world is moving to HTML5.
