  • THE iPAD FINALLY LAUNCHES

    06 Apr 2010 by Seth Rotherham in Apple, Apple Mac, Digicape

    I tell you what, I’m counting the days before this puppy appears at Digicape, But, in the meantime, the best we can do is check out these reviews from leading critics in the US. And they’re not looking too shabby!

    And for those of you who continue to skip articles about the iPad – WAKE UP! Unless you’re over 80, you can’t carry on like that, my friend. This is happening. This is now.

    The Apple iPad

    The New York Times: “And the techies are right about another thing: The iPad is not a laptop. It’s not nearly as good for creating stuff. On the other hand, it’s infinitely more convenient for consuming it — books, music, video, photos, Web, e-mail and so on. For most people, manipulating these digital materials directly by touching them is a completely new experience — and a deeply satisfying one.”

    Wall Street Journal: “If people see the iPad mainly as an extra device to carry around, it will likely have limited appeal. If, however, they see it as a way to replace heavier, bulkier computers much of the time—for Web surfing, email, social-networking, video- and photo-viewing, gaming, music and even some light content creation–it could be a game changer the way Apple’s iPhone has been.”

    USA Today: “Apple has pretty much nailed it with this first iPad, though there’s certainly room for improvement. Nearly three years after making a splash with the iPhone, Apple has delivered another impressive product that largely lives up to the hype.”

    Boing Boing: “Maybe the most exciting thing about iPad is the apps that aren’t here yet. […] I like it a lot. But it’s the things I never knew it made possible — to be revealed or not in the coming months — that will determine whether I love it.”

    PCMag: “There may be things it doesn’t do, but what it does do, it does remarkably well. Aside from the aforementioned limitations, there isn’t a lot else to gripe about. And to my great surprise, you can actually get real work done with the iPad.”

    And there are even more – check out the Fast Company crib sheet for more inside info.

    Until my iPad is ready, I’m freezing my body so that the waiting time doesn’t hurt so much..
