Meh.
It’s all good stuff. Higher resolution. Faster processor. More memory. LTE.
It’s a nice upgrade, and I imagine the screen is going to be the wow-factor everyone will be talking about once they actually play with it.
But for me, an owner of the original iPad, I won’t be lining up to get the new iPad on March 16th.
A few other thoughts:
Hey, the new iPad will be announced today. It’s a big deal, for people in all types of industries. You’ll likely read about it – either by looking for it or it finding you – then move on.
But what do you do if you are not Apple and you have news to announce?
Do you skip today – and even this week – to make your announcement public?
If there was ever a good time to move away from cable and try the Apple TV, we may be entering it (emphasis mine)…
Apple released news about their upcoming OSX update, Mountain Lion, and there are a ton of really great features (and I’m sure at least “one more thing”). But here’s one that caught my eye:
Nearly two years ago, I purchased the first iPad. I still have it, and haven’t moved to the iPad 2 for a number of reasons. The biggest reason is that the original iPad hasn’t slowed me down at all.
Then, about nine months ago, I wrote up a few notes on why I felt an iPad is better than a laptop. Since we’re nearing the release of the iPad 3, and since I’ve heavily leaned on my iPad while traveling (a lot) over the past week, I thought it’d be a good time to find out if the iPad is indeed still better than a laptop.
After two years of use (LOTS of use, just ask my wife), I still believe the iPad is better than a laptop. In fact, my belief is so much stronger that I think laptops are going away and our use of ‘computers’ will be based on our location.
Here’s how I came to that belief.
