iFail
I was going to write a long, witty, heck, memorable piece about the just-announced iPad, drawing on my experiences with the mourned Newton MessagePads, the GO/EO PEN-based tablets, the many Palm Treo iterations through which I suffered, but I’m drained by the mediocre specifications.
@SenatorGrant summarized it best: “no camera, no usb, no unique value prop[osition], no way #ipadfail”
Let me get this straight: a writing-paper-sized iPhone without the ability to make phone calls or videoconference? No camera? Can’t leave my iPhone or MacBook Pro at home? Clearly I’m not the target demographic. It’ll be easy not to buy this. I’m already waiting to see if the next release is worthy.
iFail, indeed.
