Yesterday, Apple announced its latest mobile computing device called the iPad. It certainly looks like an iPhone on steroids, and yes, it boasted a price tag much lower than I expected.
Just right after the announcement, the internet started to get hit with tons of interesting reviews, but most of them came from what I call “new-age-old-school people”, even if they were using Twitter to post their point of view.
As Steve Jobs stated, the iPad is a revolutionary new device that comes to fill the gap between your smartphone and your desktop with a gadget that delivers content as per the user wants and needs.
Opposed to what most of the blogs state about the iPad having failed to materialize some cool features, I believe and understand that the iPad comes to be a genuine true Cloud Content delivery tool.
With the ability to create and edit any kind of document with services such as Google Docs and Picnik and the empowerment that Box.net provides to instantly view ( and edit ) popular file formats for documents such as spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, images, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator files, audio and Flash video ( Flash Apps Will Run On The iPad ) right from the Box, on a single browser window, you really do not need more than 64Gb nor a drag & drop feature.
The iPad user interface is designed to access and view content from the Cloud and from standard internet content publishers on an anywhere – anytime manner. That is brilliant and truly futuristic for those who understand where content management is heading.
Certainly, the incorporation of an SD card reader, a built-in camera or a USB port would have been great features, but please remember that all these features can easily be added with the use of Bluetooth peripherals that can bring to Apple additional revenue just like they did with their Time Capsule and Air Port Wi-Fi stations.
So, what is next? Well, for me it is very simple. I’ll get in line, wait 60 days and buy my entry level iPad with Wi-Fi and 16 Gb to manage all my personal and work information that resides on my Box.net account and then on my spare time, I will read the New York Times and stream the upcoming episodes of Lost.
