Okay the evolution or is it revolution or would it be convolution of the iPad is near. The release of something that looks like a big phone, or something that feels like a portable monitor is going to revolutionize things for awhile. How so and why?The ipad Basics are as follows: iPad will be available in late March worldwide for a suggested retail price of $499 (US) for the 16GB model, $599 (US) for the 32GB model, $699 (US) for the 64GB model. The Wi-Fi + 3G models of iPad will be available in April in the US and selected countries for a suggested retail price of $629 (US) for the 16GB model, $729 (US) for the 32GB model and $829 (US) for the 64GB model. iPad will be sold in the US through the Apple Store® (www.apple.com).
So hanging onto one of these things is like what exactly? Do we still need a mouse, and or a keyboard? Technically you don't but it does make things easier for you should you need one. On screen touch typing is going to be similar to their iPhone technology, and could catch on like no other.
The danger to other companies, includes most of your handheld electronic readers. Will this revolutionize we look at books and magazines? Possibly, will it be an alternative that Apple will push beyond just the launch and second upgrades? We hope so, because the truth is, Apple is doing what the rest of the PC world cannot do, and that's innovate to change. Innovation from Apple comes as easily as cancer to a prostate.
Perhaps that is the beauty of Apple. They bring innovation that nobody in the market can match due to their marketing and widespread appeal. They can force and create buzz about a product that most people don't need, or can live without. BUT, millions will clamor for this hot little item, and millions will follow for years to come. It will be another of the niche products that Apple sells that everybody wants and will want to be seen with. All Apple has to do is make the platform compatible with apps, and you instantly have a cult following. A major congratulations to the team from Silicone Valley, they will always be first and best to market when it comes innovation.
