TBH I, like most techy-people was not excited about the iPad at launch. However, the more I see about it, the more excited I get.
Although it is a simple device, I think it is becoming quite obvious that the apps are going to make this device (unlike the iPhone which was groundbreaking before the apps), I think the small amount of extra screen real estate you get with the iPad is going to make a huge difference.
I think there is also just something overtly natural about not having an intermediary device to interact with it like a mouse. Just my thoughts...
- frou_dh 17y agoI wouldn't call it a small amount of extra screen real estate, it has more than 5x the number of pixels that the iPhone has. Heh heh. That would make for a funny "multi-tasking" experience. Four original-sized iPhone app tiled beside each other.
- benofsky 17y agoGood point! :-)
- glhaynes 17y agoI agree: it's unimaginable to think of them releasing iPad without the App Store; with the iPhone, the lack of 3rd party apps was just a bullet point under "cons". About the screen size: I saw someone say basically that it's just a bigger iPhone in the same way a swimming pool is just a bigger bathtub.
