The Apple iPad

January 29th, 2010 john 2 comments

So the day has come, after long anticipation Steve Jobs finally headlined the January 27th event in San Francisco.
There has been mixed reviews. Personally I expected more and I think this is the case for many fans and technology enthusiasts. I believe that this device will BE “more” after we give it sometime. What Apple failed to do at the launch of this device was there was not much content ready for the device to showcase what it is fully capable of. I’ve attached a rendition of what the future Sports Illustrated magazine could be on an iPad like device. Although I was disappointed with the level of content shown at the premier, I am excited to finally see a device/company which will continually work with the publishers to bring new content and bring innovative and CPU draining content. The days of static multimedia is over, it is all about interactivity, and not just at the local science center, but in your hands, on your laps, or where ever you may take your iPad. When text book content becomes available on the iPad with interactivity and embedded “active” diagrams it would be a revolution in the way we study. I would not expect this content for at least another year until the 2nd generation iPad comes around. Enjoy the vids.
