Apple News Is Always Ripe
Just spend a few minutes listing to the new product announcement coming from Apple on their newest product innovation. The iPad. All the mystery and hype that has lead up to the announcment is typical Apple style with a frenzy of speculation and arguements for and against, EVEN before the product features have been outlines. Apple loves to play up to it very loyal customer base and has tremendous success with most of their product launches over the past few years. The iPod and iPhone have revolutionalized music and wireless communication so the anticipation is richly deserved.
What’s the Story?
The new iPad is basically (looks like) a huge blown up iPhone. The killer app is the ability to have not only full size (about) Magazines, Books, and Newspapers online, but to be able to have a near size monitor with integration of the touch screen technology. In effect this is just a big iPhone. Kind of cool, still waiting on a price but you get the story. A little bit over-hyped in our opinion

Today is the day that Steve Jobs blessed us with the iPad. Personally it’s exactly what I thought it’d be practically a modified iTouch, I’m actually gonna wait until the future versions to pick an Apple iPad up. I want to see one with multitasking, a camera, usb and a microphone before I’ll make the jump. I especially think that a USB port is the most important feature it is lacking. What do you guys think?

The i pad seems to be great and can do just about every thing that i would like. However, I genuinely wished they’d decided to add a video camera in the i-pad. For this amount I do think they should have found the way to add a webcam.

Within the iPad v. Kindle situation, this provides the publishers one thing of a negotiating lever ?X if Amazon won??t budge on their terms/conditions, I??ll move to Apple. Etc.

??m not thus positive, as everyone else is, that this essentially kills the Kindle right away. It??ll certainly make anyone considering buying a Kindle hold off until the iPad is released. However Apple solely indicated that the battery life would be ten hours, and didn??t say whether it??d be any further if you??re simply using it to read iBooks. To me, the very fact that you’ll be able to go a full week without desirous to charge your Kindle is its big selling point, and what makes it better for travel. I will droop on to mine for now however I??ll have an interest to see.

Apple’s a company I’ve enjoyed for some time, they produce products that is aesthetically beautiful while working like a each and every time. Alot of companies aren’t able to say that, it’s typically one or the other. Businesses don’t usually take aesthetics seriously like Apple. With that being said I’ve got to say that I’m anxious about the new Tablet. One thing I question though, is it too soon? I’m afraid that this may be ahead of our time. What do you think?

The secretiveness is the product of Apple’s smartly crafted promotion process. Without the veil of secrecy, the questionable news leaks wouldn’t produce the attention that they do. You’re a fool if you don’t believe these news leaks are deliberately leaked. I mean frankly, how hard would it really be to trace back to the one who leaked it? How many individuals have access to Apple prototypes?
