This is a little of topic from the Nexus One, but Apple revealed the new iPad today. To me it’s kind of stupid. I would never use it. It would be a complete waste of money. The name also sounds like some kind of feminine product. I don’t like the name iPad at all. That being said, the masses will eat the Apple iPad up. People will be flocking to the stores to buy them as soon as they are available just because its Apple.
Movies have been showing things like the iPad for years and it seems like a natural progression for computers. I’ve been sick of real keyboards for years. So even though I’m not really into the new Apple iPad, it’s a tad interesting. We will have to wait and see what happens with it. I’d rather see something like this in a desktop form.
So is the iPad just a big iPhone? To me it looks that way. For it to be really useful it would need to be the full OSX operating system. I don’t want a device like this only to be stuck in a small word of apps from the app store. I don’t care if there are thousands of apps there, I want to be able to run programs just like on a traditional system.
