Good un-biased article about the iPad.
Great article highlighting the new way in which the iPad will handle files, folders, and the file system in general. I especially like the idea that a user can choose to share a specific app’s documents wireless with their desktop. This makes data retention, backup, and synchronization between multiple devices much easier, especially for developers like me.
I’m excited about the iPad, but I do have to agree with this article that there are some key things missing from the hardware. Two biggest things for me are:
- No camera - definitely would have liked to see video conferencing.
- No multitasking - if this is truly going to be a netbook/laptop replacement, how can they not support multiple tasks running at once?
What are your thoughts on the new device?
I agree with everything that is said in this post. I’m excited about the Apple Tablet, but I need it to be a replacement for a laptop for me to justify the purchase. What features do you need in the Tablet to make it worth your hard-earned cash?
Awesome, I’ve been waiting for this. Now I can finally have sound on my Windows 7 Boot Camp for my iMac.
UPDATE: For detailed instructions on how to get your sound working on your Windows 7 Boot Camp install, check out this article.
An awesome article highlighting the upcoming challenges to iPhone App developers (like myself) who will need to port their iPhone app to the yet-to-be-released Apple Tablet. The article focuses not only on screen resolutions, but also on current SDK limitations, accelerometer issues, touch/grasp issues, and others.
