Apple’s iPad is iMagical
Steve Jobs is not a genius. Steve Jobs is not brilliant. In fact, Steve Jobs most likely is not human. In fact, we can put Steve Jobs and James Cameron together and create an entire new country or better yet, planet, that only God knows what could become of that. Or perhaps another question is, "Is Steve Jobs God?"
On sale late March for a mere $499, Jobs has once again shocked the world with yet another magical device that millions and billions of people won’t be able to live without.
The iPad does so many things that were previously unthinkable that one should ask what the iPad won’t do. The days of turning on a cell phone and making a call are like putting a piece of paper in a fax machine and pressing a button to send.
The iPad can literally destroy the PC industry overnight. It sucks to be Michael Dell today. At only 1/2" thick and weighing in at less than 24 ounces, can you imagine anyone taking a laptop on a plane to watch a movie? Can you imagine anyone not tooling around with one because it’s just too cool?
Not only can you choose from 140,000 app’s, there are a dozen new ones that allow you to create photo albums, documents and other stuff like a pro.
I can go on and on but there are better places to read about iPad’s features than here. The thing is, Jobs has created a phenomenon unlike any other in our lifetime.
Sure, IBM introduced the PC in 1982; the first fax in 1989; the first cell phone in 1995; the first MP3 music player 1999; but nothing like this.
If Avatar can do $2 Billion in two months, what will the iPad do in its first year? Too bad Jobs couldn’t get the device to Cameron in time for production of Avatar. Then truly the God’s would have spoken.
Happy Thursday!

I have been saving for a new laptop I think I might test this out

No Flash driver. No multi-tasking. No built in camera. No thanks. I learned my lesson with the iPhone: wait for the second or third generation, with twice the functions and half the price.

It also does not have a connection output for a monitor hook up and you have to buy additional accessories if you want to add a keyboard or monitor…however, I haven’t seen anything stating whether or not they will have an accessory that will allow a camera hook up.
The low priced iPad might be $499 but if you want info on the go, it will cost you $630 to $830 PLUS an additional connection plan…which I think was listed at $15 per month for 250mb of data and $30 per month for unlimited data access. I don’t know if thats on top of the data plan you have now or if the data plan you have now will include the iPad.
2010 will be the year of tablet PCs. Apple might open up the market but most business related people like myself will wait until a multi-touch tablet is released with a computer user in mind. To me the iPad seems a lot more media user specific. Already available is Achros 9 and JooJoo and the HP slate are on the way with many to follow Im sure.
