...is offer a personal professional opinion on technology. Because technology should be that to you, a personal tool used for both personal and professional purposes.
Is this what the iPad does? See for yourself in the release article written by the IBTimes.
A lot of traditional media sees this as a new way of reaching its readers and are heading Apple's way. Of course, there'll be apps available to it. It seems to do everything a laptop does...it's just flat and you can touch the screen and it's the size of a US Standard sheet of paper. According to the article, seeing the whole screen is a big deal. There's going to be iBooks. If iSee another ixyz I'm going to iPuke.
You'll have to pay extra for 3G services (this is where they getcha, and I don't think the addition is correct in the article).
I'll admit, there may be some practicality in this item, but it has more of a "cool" factor than anything else from my opinion. A glorified smartphone or an undersized laptop. I'm awaiting to see what the limitations are.
In the meantime, would I need it? No. I'm sure many people will find a use for it. As far as I can see, it's an Apple laptop in new packaging. An iPhone on steroids. I'm not a gadget guy. And it's expensive for what it is.
If the stock thing is any indication: "Shares generally rose in anticipation of the event, but Apple dropped 1.68 percent, or 3.46 dollars as Jobs took the stage ."...we'll see how things go.
