iPad
Well...at first I was like somewhat disappointed just at looking at just some preview short clips of the iPad I wal like uhhh whatever it's just "an oversized iPod Touch"
However, last night I saw the whole Apple Steve Jobs iPad presentation and I reconsidered my previous opinion on the iPad.
I like that it will have and offer:
-Stylish
-Slick/ thin
-10 hours of battery life
-ipod Touch and iPhone apps work perfectly on the iPad, plus there will be additional apps just for the iPad.
-Video Quality (LED)
-YouTube HD video capable
-iTunes
-APPLE stores(app store, itunes, and the iBook store)
-Improved and better gaming experience
-Photos
-etc...
-But the thing I'm REALLY looking forward to and made me chage my mind was that it will offer iWork apps(Pages, Keynote and Numbers) each app for $9.99
-WiFi+3G models will be pre-paid without any contracts
The iPad in my opinion will definetly be the #1 competitor against the Kindle DX and any other models soon to come up. I think it is targeted to business men and women, travelers, e-readers, students on the GO. It offers music,video, education and entertainment all in a stylish portable design and comprehensive price.
iWork
I think that by offering iWork in the iPad gives it an extra bonus towards this new product. It will let users to work on their work and projects on the go all in the palm of their hands, and after finishing their presentations using Keynote, they just use an adapter to connect it on a projector.
CONS in my taste:
The only things I still don't like or feel disappointed is that the iPad does not offer FLASH, USB input, HDMI output, nor a video/photo camera to be used for example in video chats/conversations or taking an instant picture.
Overall the iPad has caught my eye and interest for its full functions it will offer to its uders. Personally as a college student I have found my iPod Touch to be helpful in times, now I can imagine how the iPad will trully help me in college, when I travel, or in my free time. I plan to wait some time and most possible buy one.
