Unless you live under a rock you have heard of the iPad by now. Ok maybe you were at work but word is out there.. The leaked rumors seem to have been true and it looks pretty cool. I thought I would just post a few thoughts about this new "game changing" device.
1) Pricing is not too bad.. You do have to pay for the hardware which is not free and the "coolness" factor. Not sure which model will sell the most as having 3G would be pretty cool but that gets you out of the sub $500 price point.
2) Form factor is very nice. For kicking back on the couch this will be a sweet toy. I expect that this will sell a ton of units for Apple.
3)I was a bit dissapointed that is appears to be running the same base OS as the iPhone. It would be a winner for me if you could run background apps and really use it to replace a netbook or small notebook. For me if I could SSH into servers and do some of that type of work on it I would be all over it. I am curious to see if we see jailbreaking on the iPad.
4)AT&T still? After all the problems users are complaining about all the time I would have thought that Apple would have taken a look at another provider. I wonder if this will deter some from picking up the 3G product.
Well enough for now. Looking forward to checking on out at an Apple store in a few months.
