Subject: Re: Has everyone seen the new Apple iPad? by CSS996 on 2010/1/30 16:12:10 Being a Mac fan boy, I watched the entire keynote speech (on my MacBook Pro, of course). I can't see myself needing one yet, as I have the laptop and an iPhone. But it could absolutely revolutionize how we buy and read print media. Could save college students a bundle on books if they pass the cost savings of printing and shipping along. Would be great for students to carry a nearly unlimited quantity of textbooks on something 1.5" thick and only weighing a pound. The iBook store is already working with several major publishers, and will add more soon. If someone developed an app that let you use a stylus to take notes and convert it reliably to text, I may have a use for it. I had an Apple Newton about fifteen years ago that worked halfway decent at that task. So it shouldn't be a problem to figure out. They showed some really cool gaming experiences that will change the way we play video games. Overall cool. I'll have one someday, but I can wait. |
