Urgh, Sunday. The hardest day to get out of bed. But, I still have to. There's Halo to play. Plus, I have to get out of bed at 5:00 tomorrow, so I might as well be tired tonight so I can get to sleep earlier.
So, Apple announced its new product, the Giant iPod. The iTampon. The other billion names you can call it. Yes, yes, it's a horrible name, I know. But people seem to be split on the product itself. Some people seem to think that it's a horrible product that shouldn't wipe its @$$ on the face of the Earth, or that it will save the publishing industry, the tech industry, the movie industry, and while we're at it, the veterinarian industry (Why not?). I won't succumb to the age-old debate of Mac vs. PC. Nobody wins religious debates (not my joke, sorry).
Instead, I want to give a (relatively) impartial review on the iPad, with pros, cons, and uses (this could be a 4-part or a 5-part review).
--------------------------------------------------
Apple has definitely created a niche for itself in the world of mobile technology. The iPod, the iPhone/iPod Touch (I don't know why people don't usually include them together, they're more alike then the regular iPod and the iPod Touch) and the Macbooks all have their own share of success.
So it seems that Apple has decided to get itself fully into the mobile industry, and with good reason. Most sources agree that most Internet access in ten years will be through mobile devices. However, Apple might not be justified in creating another line of apparently needless gadgets good for apparently nothing else other than the bigger screen. You can't really carry it around conveniently unless you have a bag to carry it in, and trust me, I like not carrying bags around. You don't need it, if you already have a laptop and smartphone, or even one of those.
So, is Apple justified in making another line of mobile devices? I'd like your input on this. Argue among yourselves if you have to. If you think you have to enlighten so-and-so on how they are an idiot, please do so, but in a professional manner, please.
That's all for now. I'll be back tomorrow with part 2!
