iPad: my first thoughts
Apple’s newest product has me unimpressed. Here are a couple of qualifiers for that comment:
1. I want one device for everything outside of my house. That’s why I love my iPhone.
2. I never wanted, or even considered a Kindle. Not once.
3. To me netbooks are a waste of time. My 17 inch Dell isn’t that heavy to carry around.
Now that I’ve said I’m unimpressed here are the things I like about it:
I’m sure that Kindles are going to take a dive in sales because this thing blows the Kindle out of the water. Apple has done the eReader right.
I like that you have the choice of either WiFi or 3G.
I really like the price point of $499 for a 16gig. That puts this little guy right in line with netbooks.
I guess I just want less stuff that does more things. For me my iPhone does most everything I want and my Dell takes over with the rest.
I won’t buy this little guy but I see the point of it all.
