iPad more like iWant!


So Steve Jobs had another amazing Mac World announcement yesterday (even though everyone already knew what it was)...the iPad! This is Apple's weapon to destroy it's fellow gadgets...cough kindle cough.... Many are criticizing the iPad calling it simply a 'larger version' of the iPhone/or iPod Touch. This is not really the case. Yes it has some similarities but all Apple products do across the board to keep the compatibility between products. But when you look deeper in this magical tablet it's more than just an iPhone...more than an iPod....different than a laptop. Just take a look at the video from Apple...no not the Keynote speach...just this ...





This video should give you a different perspective of the product as a whole. One part of Apple's latest creation I agree with the critics about, is the AWFUL name. The iPad? really? Although I do enjoy the infamous "i" added to the prefix of simple words making them so trendily catchy, this one is iffy. Not that I could think of something better but this sounds more like a different type of product than a cutting edge piece of technology. Hopefully Apple with try to fix this mild oversight in their marketing campaign for the iPad. But overall once again Steve Jobs, you put on a great show for this long awaited product!
