Bad Apple

I'm sure everyone as seen it by now. Last Wednesday Apple released their much rumored 'tablet' out in CA. The new device, simply named iPad was supposed to be revolutionary. There have been many rumors flying around the past few months, and it seems like people were genuinely excited. Unfortunately, it appears as though Apple as failed to deliver.

Initially, I got really excited by the new device. It looked really cool, and sure, you can do some pretty cool things with it. But....is any of this really new? Between my MacBook and iPod Touch, I am connected all the time. (Probably too often actually). My iPod is the internet/email/4,000+ songs/movies/tv shows in my pocket, and my laptop is small enough to carry anywhere. I don't understand Apple's push for this new middle device. I'm a strong believer that they make quality products that are superior/more reliable to their competitors, but I'm not sure where they are going with this.



If we have learned anything from Apple over the past 10 years or so, it's that they still have something up their sleeves. My guess is that when they release a newer version in 1-2 years, it will bring something new to consumers. But until then, I'm going to have to sit this one out.

Also as promised, my selection for PostSecret of the week.
