I have to agree
Honestly, other than the camera most of the stuff that this is offering I can do on a nook color. That and I can add additional storage to the nook via a micro SD.
Thinner, lighter, and the same battery is impressive I will give him that, but I am not comfortable with the level of control that I would have over the device. Also what does the iPad do but browse the web? Yes there are the famous apps but most of them are web based. How much faster do you need web pages to load? This does take the wind out of the first two minutes of his presentation promoting greater speed. Also one of the big factors of those is speed of the connection, not the processor.
4G? Thats all that At&t, Verizon, Sprint, and all the others have been clamoring about, when it does become mainstream will it have it? Support it? Or do we have to buy yet another one when it comes out Ipad2.2?
I know there is a flash debate, not going there, but would it really kill them to put in a usb, a micro usb something? I dont , wont and cant get all my technology from apple something to show that they are trying to play nice with other tech.
Also It would have added something if he actually showed us the device. I mean if he had one in his hands, because its easy enough to alter graphics. I could see him telling his engineers, "Okay I announced it now make it happen!" Kind of like when Kennedy said that we were going to the moon, then NASA had to figure out how.
Honestly there are improvements, but not in the areas that we have been clamoring about. The improvements that have been made are not relevant to getting new users to buy an iPad, and honestly I dont think there relevant enough to get the users of the first iPad to upgrade to it. The only people that are going to run out any buy this on the first day it the die-hard apple fans, and they can have it.
