On the iPad
So its been about a week after the iPad has been released. During this whole time I’ve embarked on a little project to collect links to articles that point out the opposite of the general consensus.
That being said, I do feel that the whole announcement was pretty underwhelming. But after spending sometime to think it through, there is so much that just barely scratches the surface, so much that has not yet been revealed.
Its not evolutionary like how the iPhone changed the smartphone landscape. Its something new that we have not yet really anticipated or thought we would use. This is what Apple is good at. To bring you things you never thought you would use and show you how it will change your life.
For that I’m hopeful. Even more so because despite everything, there are many talented and creative developers that will extend and push the envelop of potential for such a new and ground breaking device.
And without further ado, here are the links. Cause I want to document them, and mostly cause I’m just too lazy to continue explaining to friends why the iPad is not “meh”.
