The iPAD...Doesn't That Sound Like A Girly Product?

by Danni 1/29/2010 4:42:00 AM

The iPad, the new release from Apple, is a multi-touch screen that is basically a laptop computer minus the keyboard and mouse part. It is lighter than a laptop and the huge screen allows you to view websites one page at a time with finger scrolling to change the page of course. Think of it as a huge iPhone without the ability to make calls or take pictures. You can however view pictures that are "crisp and vibrant" according to the website. Also, because the screen is so large, it makes it easier to watch movies and YouTube videos, as well as read novels in the iBook application, check email,  manage your calendar, and more. I am sure they already are designing apps for the iPad, hopefully the Fart 2.0 makes the cut! I'm crossing my fingers. Plus, the design is like a Frisbee, so I'm sure you can toss it around if you feel like it; it might just come back.  

I think it will be interesting to see if people go crazy over this product like the iPod or iPhone. It looks just like the iPhone but in a much bigger form that it should be funny to see people pull them out of their bag, and others mistakenly thinking that this is the new phone must-have-- like we have reverted back to massive cell phones.

I wish!

If it had just come with a camera I think I really would have been sold. Now... well... maybe, but not for a while. I think I'll wait for the app gold rush to kick in.

I agree with M3, but it would be a real awkward camera, almost laughably large....imagine what that would like like up to your face? The other thing is I'm not sure I need that, are they competing with the notebook or the Kindle or??? Perhaps this is a hype no substance product. Time will tell!

I think this is a great product. I see it as a great application for education. No more books for the kids to lug back and forth to school. All the books would be inside for grade level. Tests would be taken on screen and uploded to the teacher. Endless possibilities.

It seems like a mobile Library because it has capacity of downloading up to 500 books.

heheh...I was watching this college humor video on youtube and yes they too think of it as girly. Plus, it sounds more like another one of those sanitary napkins that females would use!
