Apples Worst Kept Secret
The Apple iPad had to be one of Apples worst kept secrets of all time. Rumors of a tablet computer have been swirling around for quite some time now, and spy shots have been popping up on almost every Mac enthusiast site. But, what is all the fuss really about? Is the Apple iPad a functional tool that will fill a need, or is it just Apple cashing in once again on the stylish consumer market?
Based on the specifications released, it seems to be in between the two. While it offers more than any consumer would really need, it doesn’t quite offer much for professional users. It offers a great 9.7 inch screen, and allows for easy web surfing and app usage. But, because it doesn’t have a physical keyboard, people who need to do a lot of typing (email, etc) may have trouble using this device quickly. If you really think about it, the iPad is just a larger, more powerful iPhone. Now, this is definitely not a bad thing, as the iPhone is one of the best phones around. But, you shouldn’t be comparing the iPad to a traditional laptop computer.
So, is the Apple iPad the next big thing? Well, we will have to wait just a little bit longer, because Apple just announced another delay due to production issues. But, based on past history, the Apple iPad will be the must have tech gadget for the year 2010! And for the price tag is carries, you can’t really ask for more!
