THE NEW IPAD
As expected, a lot of buzz has been going on since Mr. Jobs launched the “magical” Ipad. The geeks are out in full force, busy gawking, googling, posting in youtube, watching in youtube, blogging, twiterring, and tripping all over themselves (in a very orderly fashion ^^) going loco over the gadget.
Some quarters are actually grumbling that this Ipad (medyo jologs sounding ang name no? reminds me of the way Aling Dionisia Pacquiao or the neighbor’s maid would say Ipod), that this Ipad is just an oversized Iphone. I would actually say an oversized Ipod because, after all, you couldn’t use it to make a call or take a video or picture, the works. Apple is busy hyping this product saying its stronger than netbooks, but my problem with it, despite its custom processor, is that you can’t multitask. Like, come on. The most base of all the netbooks out there can run at least three apps at once. And why not use OSX? I am very concerned about this because I intend to use it for my work as well when I’m on the road – do some simple wordprocessing. I have been holding tight on my money, restraining myself from buying a macbook waiting for this kind of thing to happen. But I dunno if I can trade it now for the Ipad.
The thing does look fancy and I bet the user experience would be fantastic and the price is low, too. Let’s just see when this thing hits the stores.
