Apple today introduced it’s iPad, which looks like a giant iPod Touch. For all the speculation that was it. iPad = iPhone (without phone and MultiTasking) plus a big screen. No built-in camera, no handwriting recognition, no speech recognition, No multi-tasking. This doesn’t seem that magical to me. I am not impressed at all. Seems to me that the iPad is a big screen iPod Touch. Which you use to consume media. Watch video on airplanes and car back seats, while you wait for the dentist, on the bus or train etc. Besides its overpriced.
For about what the low end iPad costs, $499, I can get a real 17” laptop running Windows 7.
For about what the high end iPad costs, $829, I can get:
- · a 17” laptop running Windows 7 ($499).
- · plus an iPhone 3G ($99).
- · plus a Kindle ($259).
I don’t see why everyone thinks the iPad is such a good deal. Is there latent demand for a big screen iPod touch? We will see.
