Apple just announced that their long awaited iPad Tablet will be available to the public on April 3rd, with “pre-order” starting in one week. Will the iPad Tablet command the kind of lines and packing out for a couple of days on line, that the iPhone did?
Probably not, but the Apple is trying to use it to boomerang an existing niche market, the small tablet PC market, into competition with the laptop and note book market, to some extent.
The only downside to this is that the ability to read a multiple range of formats is not built in. One must buy an external App for this. Do not like paying for an app that does what should have been present on the iPad by default? The iPad comes with an iBooks app. This is an.epub based store, which is so far supported by Penguin Books, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan Publishers, and Hachette Book Group USA.
There has been so much hype over this and rightly so. Pat of Apple’s brilliance is the way it promotes and markets their products. Surely the style and functionality of the products are the cutting edge into the market, but apple knows how to create a buzz. Notice all those ads for iPad giveaways. They really aren’t scams.
The Cons. The iPad uses a backlit LCD display. Unlike the e–ink displays, the iPad can irritate the eyes over prolonged reading. The two ways to prevent irritation: blinking and following the 20/20/20 rule (every 20 minutes look 20 feet away for 20 seconds to allow your eyes to refocus) are quite an annoyance.
The iPad also doesn’t have a native pdf/doc/cbr/ppt viewing app and spending money on what should have been a default feature can be an annoyance.
Oh and if you want to send someone pictures via email yourself using your iPad tablet you can do that as well because the iPad has a built in Photos app which makes this a doddle to do. No more messing around. It saves you time which means you’ll have more time to download useless iPad apps and while away those hours on a Friday afternoon in the office!
So yes, I said it – using the iPad tablet for email actually makes emailing fun because it’s so easy to do and you have fun doing it. And one day all people will use an iPad to do their email and emailing activities, mark my words.
