Apple’s Answer to the PC tablet: the iPAD is here!
For almost a year of secrecy, Apple reveals what it calls a revolutionary creation for handling emails, web browsing, viewing movie videos etc, etc.
The iPAD is just an example of a product repackaged, and will probably be a success because of PR hype it is getting from Apple. Just like the iPhone, which essentially a pocket pc made by Apple, and has been out for at least a decade.
It is rumored that the iPAD will cost between 300-400 pounds. It costs significantly more that Sony’s e-book reader which you can get for around 140 pounds, and obviously the iPAD can do much more than allowing you to read e-books. So I can see that Sony’s e-book reader is a dying breed. I don’t think that the iPAD will mark the decline in laptop sales, and I am not suggesting that it is meant to be a direct rivaling technology to laptops.
I don’t think that the iPAD is a bad idea, as it will become a valuable tool as the technology improves in the a couple of years time, and would be something I would carry around in my bag as a substitute to a laptop on the way to work.
