After a day to think about the iPad and reflect on possible uses I have decided that it is going to be a huge success.
- Firstly it’s an Apple product and whatever they seem to be doing nowadays generates trucks load of cash.
- It’s not expensive (priced at 500 US Dollars).
- Great Battery life.
- People for some reason I can’t comprehend love iTunes.
- The ideal device for Multitouch technology
This device is attempting to seek and destroy all laptop and netbooks on a global scale. The iPad has declared war on all laptop based products.
Hopefully this blog won’t just be about stuff Apple do but so far it seems to be heading that way. Below there is a video of the a hands on interaction with the Apple iPad.
Though the iPad seems to be the ultimate gadget and portable internet device there is still one thing it can’t do. Apple seems to hate FLASH. For those who don’t know most of the online games you play on website use flash and if a site contains any animation it most likely uses flash. By not supporting this popular web technology they have restricted access to a large number of websites.
Like its older brother this iPad does not support multitasking, meaning that you are stuck running on application at a time. No handwriting recognition either. No camera either though not sure if this was exactly required. However it would of been cool video conferencing on skype on the device. Tours of houses will never be the same.
The future might end up that all techies will own and use PCs and all the average users will use Apple products. The average users will not be able to fully use the web and will be stuck with a device that has a lot in common with the first personal organizers just with turbo charged graphics.
Luckily for anyone who is an early adopter of the iPad can still access this site.
The device seems to work very well. Response time of the device seems to be top notch and the multi-touch makes me even want the device…

the price of the ipad will be much more than $500 in Malta since apple’s market is still small in Malta.
