The newly released iPad came to me as a surprise. Probably a lot of people were anticipating its release but as for me, it's definitely new. Thanks to Google Desktop news update, I get to read news right away. At first, when I heard about the iPad and saw its presentation, I wasn't all hyped and excited. First of all, it looks like a giant iPod touch. It's like OMG, I can't fit it in my pocket and how am I supposed to hold it? It actually looks ridiculous at first, but then I realized all the great apps that I'm enjoying with my iPod touch. So I started to change my mind. I find web browsing in iPod touch revolutionary. You can literally say that the web is at your fingertips. Well, this is Mac's main selling point and it definitely works on me.
So here are some questions I have for myself (and you probably have these questions too):
The golden question: How much is it?
How different is it?
It is HUGE!!!
1GHz Apple A4 Processor
16 GB to 64 GB of storage space
9.7" LED Backlit IPS dispay - 1024 x 768 pixels
Wifi 802.11n
Bluetooth 2.1
10 hours uptime (I hope this is true!)
What can you use it for?
Since I am a bookworm, I am really excited to use this as my digital bookshelf. One of my favorite apps is Stanza. Basically, it's like your paper book, only better. You get to download many classics from different genre for free. I downloaded almost all of the Sherlock Holmes adventure books. There are also many great eBooks you can find for free or sometimes with a price. If I have an iPad,I feel like I have the library in just one sleek digital tablet.
All the apps on iPhone and the iPod Touch would work on the new iPad, but there will be other apps dedicated for the iPad.
How different is it?
Well, I think there's not much difference, except for the fact that it's huge and that your pictures would look great. And oh, you can connect a keyboard,so it would be much easier to type.
Will I get or not?
If I have money to burn, I will definitely buy it without having second thoughts. But since I only have my eyebrows to burn, I would buy it some other time. For sure, I will buy this in the future. Hopefully by that time, prices would be much lower. All in all, I'd say iPad still definitely rocks.
