So what’s so good about the iPad? I mean who’s going to replace their books with this fancy electronic device anyway?
I think people that are focused on ‘books’ miss the point and this is why:
- The iPad is not an electronic book,
- It’s not a photo album.
- It’s not a device for reading newspapers or magazines.
- It’s not a video or YouTube viewer.
- The iPad is not a games console.
- and it’s not a music player.
- And the iPad it’s not a presenting device.
The iPad is not any one of these things, it is ALL these things and more! OK, so you have probably guessed that I’m sold on the device and can’t wait to get my hands on one as soon as they come to Australia.
I am also very impressed with the convenience of the App Store. Like with the iPhone, iPad users can purchase apps and content with the tap of the finger and it’s easy because the App Store already has your credit card details. The simplicity and convenience removes roadblocks and lost sales usually caused by those ‘need to get my credit card’ moments.
The Mac strategy is about so much more than books. This video also has another use for the iPad but I should warn you that it was difficult for me to watch.
