Once again I am adding my 2 cents to the overwhelming coverage of the iPad. Here goes..
YAY! Warning! I am about to come off like a total fanboi.
This device is very exciting. Yes there are things that I would change. I would add a camera. I would add multi-threading. I would make it more open. I would free it up to other carriers. But other than those few complaints I am very impressed.
As I said in my last post, Steve Jobs has a special knack for being one step ahead of the rest of us and releasing paradigm shifting technologies. As he said in his speech apple has recognized the need for a new form factor between an iphone and a laptop. Google has been saying the same exact thing. And I totally confer.
Considering my passion for the web I really can accomplish 75% of my tasks with only the web. Even more so when I am casually surfing the web or watching video. This device will perfectly accomplish that for me.
This is truly a new device. If you read some of the writings of Jeff Raskin (the creator or the Mac) he talks about making a piece of consumer electronics that simply gets out of the way and acts as an appliance and not a computer. And I think that this moment is the fulfillment of that idea. Apple has now moved the web and apps from “computers” to people friendly tablets.
