iPad

I didn’t really pay attention to the iPad announcement today. Seems nice enough. Nothing I’d consider getting anytime soon, but I’m sure it will do well enough for Apple. Here’s a funny picture for the detractors out there. 

From what I’ve seen it’s a big ass iTouch, yes? Which is a device I’ve thought would be nice to have, don’t get me wrong. But I thought the new tablet would be much more like a, dare I say, “real” computer, instead of a computing device. Though I’m not surprised they went for the iPhone OS.

I was surprised at the price points- cheaper than  I expected on the low end, but about what I expected for the “full” version on the high end. I like the idea of the no contract 3G service too. It’ll be interesting to see the sales numbers broken down by device after a year or so.
