Top 10 Pro's & Con's for the iPad
The computing 'middle' ground category has been created and filled in a single sweep! They did it. As I lie on my couch: laptop too big / iPhone too small = iPad just right. Most people get it but some do not. The middle is here and real comfortable lying next to me on the couch. Wife? What wife?
It's not all romance........ But the future is real nice!
1. For times when we are just emailing, Googling, Youtubing, Tweeting, FB'ing, reading the paper, reading a book etc....... iPad! Editing the website, creating the next killer app & gizmo accessory, balancing the budget....... MacBook. Think Daytime/Nighttime, work time/playtime. Do you get it now?
2. Kindle Killer? Yes. It does so much more! How could it not be? Does Amazon still have a chance? Definitely!iBooks looks great and seems to have great features but (at the moment) it's lacking one big thing..... BOOKS! Amazon still has the largest selection. What Amazon needs to do is keep improving the kindle app as it is lacking right now. I WANT to get books in iBooks but can't seem to find the ones I want in the book store! So for now, Kindle App! Amazon needs to stay on top as losing the kindle isn't that bad but losing their ebook sales is major!
3. Real expensive digital photo frame! Looks great charging on the kitchen counter standing up all nice and proper in it's new iPad case. Now if I can just keep it clean from all the fingerprints! Laptop doesn't cut it as a digital photo frame (not like the iPad!).
4. Kitchen table is way too crowded for the laptop. My Sunday morning is sprawled with the laptop, 2 newspapers, coffee, some food (under the NYT). I am looking forward to the day it is just me, my iPad, coffee and maybe there will be room for uhhhm my wife! iPad is great on the counter; recipes, newspaper etc.
5. But (as pee wee Herman says "everyone has a big but, Lets talk about your big but!) the newspaper apps are not there yet. Need to be similar to the iBook experience and not cost more than the actual newspaper. So newspapers are still on the counter with my coffee but laptop is definitely replaced with the iPad!
And of course when it comes to control, the iPad is one remote that will never get lost in the couch cushions!Turning your iPad into a universal remote is as easy as Connect, Select, Control!
I know I said top 10 but knowing how this Twittering, bitly, tiny(url) fast paced social media audience is dying to get to the next story, I'll leave it at 5 (and a half). Be back with more later!
