Who needs an iPad?
by Jason Koning
Not me.
Neither do you if you already have an iPhone and a MacBook.
@jhkoning Elliot took the words out of my mouth (with regards to the #iPad) http://bit.ly/aYxiNk saves me having to write a post!
But the more I think about it, the more it seems to me that a glaring omission has to be a camera – a front facing one. I mean – seriously, where is it?
Even the iPhone has a camera.
That feature would probably have sold it for me. I can imagine using a device such as the iPad – for Skype – that would be impressive. It would have been a point of difference and could have given those of us with an iPhone/MacBook combo a reason to grab one.
But then again, I don’t think we are Apple’s target market with this.
Don’t get me wrong, it looks beautiful, will no doubt be very polished and work flawlessly.
It’ll sell truckloads.
I just wish Apple had pushed the envelope a little more.
Maybe the next gen model might have some killer feature that will convince me otherwise.
Until then, I’ll be waiting for iPhone 4.
My 3G is getting a little rough around the edges, and despite my desire to own every Apple product on the market, my common sense and bank balance forbid it…
A quick update and another view.
@rob_sheridan I was reading the umpteenth article complaining about iPad, and left my thoughts on why I think it will succeed: http://bit.ly/cvFEO5
