After you unleash your wrath against me for criticizing all the things I hate the iPad has finally arrived when you return to untie her, only this time, for the things I love about the Appletablet. Where do we start?
1. Design.The iPad is very, very nice. I look at it look. The perfect combination of everything I like about the iPhone (front dominated by the screen and one button, curved profile) with the best of the iMac (aluminum rear). And if it is nice on paper, I hate to imagine how it will be when it is placed next March.You know how attractive are the products of Apple when you have them before (the reason why I am convinced that 50% of those who now say they are not interested then fall into temptation).
2. Screen.As I said earlier, I think the decision to use a display LED instead of other solutions such as electronic ink and the like is extremely accurate. Is it a problem for the success of the iBook Store? I doubt it, and instead, confirms something that I prefer to develop on the next point …
3. Versatility.If the iPhone is already in itself a tremendously versatile gadget, the number of things I imagine doing with the iPad is even greater. Moreover, apart from the obvious uses, the function to operate as a digital photo frame that integrates serial seems to me a true wonder to which I will do my very safe game.
4. Applications.Closely linked to the previous point, applications developers manage to create to squeeze iPad capabilities on the iPhone will be as the real key to their success or failure. Certainly it is a pity that we limited by restrictions and impediments that might get through the Apple approval system of the App Store but in return, the first examples of what future applications will be optimized for the screen size of the tablet puts them very clear why we will not miss a Mac OS X on any rule (at least until Apple decides to provide it with a more imaginative multi-media which has been seen on PC).
5. iWork.The living proof that the iPad is not a widescreen iPod, but a device you can create content as well as consume it. I have friends who only use your laptop to project Keynote presentations. One of them has sold it to buy an iPad.
6. Calendar, Contacts andNotes. As iWork deserve their own point. Its equivalent for Mac OS X and iPhone / iPod touch aged 10 years at the very moment that Apple showed us the new redesigned interface for these applications. The first two in particular are simply beautiful.
7. Multi-Touch.The multi-touch technology of the iPhone reinvented to suit the benefits of its larger screen and combined with a more powerful processor to enable new forms of interaction much more colorful. For example, the method of viewing the photos in an event.
8. Autonomy.We’ll see if those 10 hours that Apple boasts are real or not but it is undeniable that there has been a considerable effort in this direction.
9. Size.If not you will have done what I and printed a picture of the real size iPad to see real big or small it is but I certainly recommend it. Its size is ideal. Not big enough to be a death in our hands, nor so small that it offers no advantage over the iPod touch. I definitely imagine seeing series, reading books and checking email with it while I’m lying on the sofa while my girlfriend keeps busy with TV Gossip Girl(no one is perfect, I love you honey).
10. Price.Okay, we do not know the final price in euro but even simply shift the dollar sign for the euro will remain a good bargain (especially compared to that of some of the devices it replaces as the free e-book readers go further). Even knowing the reports indicate that Apple will continue filling the pockets with each iPad sold thanks to a generous profit margin or that I criticize the price difference between WiFi with 3G model, the starting price of the base model does not may be more tempting.
Steve, how are you things is what youwant.
