Very clever use of the smart cover, but in the end I don't feel many people will use it.
Its cleverness relies on having an iPad 2 and a smart-cover, which segments it. Then, from a usability standpoint, I feel it would be more annoying to continue to lift up a cover than to tap the screen to reveal the answer.
- Bud 15y agoIt does not actually require Apple's Smart Cover; any of the third-party covers which are using magnets would work the same way. And there are already quite a few of those.
- eggbrain 15y agoEven if we change it from "needing a smart cover" to "needing a magnetic cover", the same general principal holds: You won't just need an iPad 2, you'll also need a cover that takes advantage of this capability, which will cut down your audience by a good amount.
- guptaneil 15y agoI would be willing to bet that the intersection of users with iPad 2's and users with iPad 2 + Smart Cover is very large.
- r00fus 15y agoNot only that, but it's literally the cutting edge and folks with most disposable income... ie, a great market even if it the covers aren't a large % of iPad2 owners.
- whichdan 15y agoBut isn't the whole point to target people who want a novel use for their smart-cover?
