Bad Apple?
I was excited about the new iPad, even if I’m not a fanboy, when they released it today. Initially I thought it was amazing and revolutionary, but now that seen it all and read all the comments (which are very negative) I realize that it’s technically a POS. It has absolutely nothing new, the OS is the same failure as in iPhone, so you can’t listen to music and browse at the same time, you will need to buy a million connectors to get anything connected to it (oh apple, will you ever learn), and there are better machines already that have stylus support in case you ever want to draw on it, like this Asus eee, which is pretty much the same machine as this, but a million times better. But, it has something that the Windows machines don’t have, a viable business model – the App Store. Now newspapers and magazines and book publishers will hopefully, unfortunately, maybe, probably, eventually some day move towards digital content with their own downloadable app subscription, making Berg Boyz’s Mag+ concept happen. It will happen eventually, whether or not this device is the catalyst or not. We have all seen it in Minority Report.
