The iPad is going to be the new next hot item on the market. It is easily the most anticipated piece of technology for 2010. If you are planning on getting your hands on one of these hot items I would advise pre-ordering one. If not Apple has set the release date on April 12 2010. Yes on Monday you can get your hands on one, but you will have to be quick because they are a sure sell item and outlets will not have a plethora available. I have a feeling that the iPad is going to be a hot item for a very long time. It will be hard to go to an outlet and pick one up, well at least until they become readily available to the public.
The iPad has new apps specifically designed for the iPad. The apps take total advantage of the iPads extra large muti touch screen, like the iPod touch and the iPhone every which way the iPad is turned the app flips to the users’ preference. Also like the iPod and iPhone, your fingers do the controlling, such as zoom, scrolling and general controls. Unlike the iPod and the iPhone, the iPad is a working computer, which is the main reason for it. With its enlarged screen, it presents web pages just as a a laptop or a desktop computer would. But its way more accessible, due to its slender design and light weight.
You’re probably wondering how big of a dent the new iPad is going to take out of your wallet. It depends on memory size, Wi-Fi and 3G coverage. 3G coverage with AT&T is going to cost roughly $30 a month for unlimited access. The cheapest iPad will be a 16GB model with basic Wi-Fi will be around $500, if the iPad is purchased online. The price increases according to the size of memory. 32 gigs runs around 600 bucks and 64 Gb is going to run about $100 more. So you might as well pay the extra hundo for 32 more Gigs. The iPad with 3G coverage compatibility is going to cost the consumer a little more, a 16 GB with 3G coverage and Wi-Fi is $629 and for every double in memory space is a hundred bucks more.
The Ipad is here to stay and will change the face of mobile computers and technology.I suspect that Microsoft is not going to let this slide and they will come up with something similar to rival the iPad but until then Apple has the upper hand.
The IPad is pretty cool. I played around with one in Best Buy the other day and they were pretty neat. The only thing I didnt like was how big it was. Its like a mini computer. I think it would be a hassle to carry around and everything. Although, I think they will be a hit and that many people will like them.
ReplyDeleteTo tell you the truth, i've heard of ipads but i never knew what they were made for. Its pretty amazing how technology is changing right before our eyes. I think that it would be pretty cool to own one. The prices are pretty resonable for a computer based device. This is really interesting, and i will look farther into the ipad. Maybe one day, i will get one! I agree when you say the ipad is here and will change the face of mobile computers and technology.
ReplyDeleteThe ipad seems really cool but i dont think i would spend my money on another device that apple has come up with. The next thing we know, there will be a bigger and better ipad within the next year. Why spend so much money on something that will be upgraded in a year or so. The prices of this device is not to bad but i still wouldn't spend my money on it. Like rylan said, its pretty big, like a mini computer. I would think people would just want to buy a good computer instead of an ipad.
ReplyDeleteI want an ipad so much! i think it is more convienent than a labtop and is going to be very succesfull. I would like to see myself have one in a year. :)
