IPad Update

So the iPad came out a few days ago and I thought that after our discussion in class on Thursday that it would be appropriate to blog about the release and reviews. In class there was a mix of students who thought that the iPad was great and others who didn't see why people loved it.

After looking up reviews, I came across similar comments as those found in class. David Progue, a journalist at the NY Times reviewed te device and instead of giving a general overview, he offered a review for both the "Techies" and then one for the average consumer. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/01/technology/personaltech/01pogue.html

Progue gives the pros and cons for each group of people. I think it was really interesting to read about how the iPad would be beneficial for each group and it's downfall as well. After watching the Apple promotional video in class on Thursday about how the iPad was going to change the world and change technology forever, it was refreshing to read a professional journalists opinion on how the iPad was really going to be recieved. I personally do not believe that the iPad is going to change the daily lives of society but I do think that it is a major stepping stone in the advancement of technology.
