Apple iPad

This week Apple announced the product that just about everyone on the planet knew was coming, the Apple iPad.  I'll leave all the pooh pah to other sites to handle and just address why this product is coming soon to my collection of tech stuff.  And why.

As I have mentioned in earlier posts I had been considering getting an e-book reader for some time now and was leaning seriously towards either the Kindle or one of the newer Sony e-reading devices.  The reason I was considering the Kindle was the whole Amazon ecosystem of content:  books as well as newspaper and magazine subscriptions.  The benefits of the Sony products was the recent embrace of the ePub standard by Sony as well as a few content deals that have been rumored to be in the works.  The iPad killed those considerations for me.

The price points that Apple announced for the iPad more than make it a competitive product considering how much it can do (wi-fi only 16GB $499, 32GB $599, 64GB $699 with an extra $130 for 3G service via AT&T with an unlimited data plan for only $29.99 per month without a contract).  Considering this is an Apple product I was buying into the opinions that it would launch closer to $1000 rather than $500, especially when you look at the initial pricing of the iPhone when it launched three years ago.  For ten dollars less than you pay for the Kindle DX you get the same sized screen and a LOT more bang for your buck.  Another point of interest is that Steve Jobs and company announced that the iPad will run ALL the apps that currently run on the iPhone/iPod Touch.  This means that if I really want some content available only from Amazon I can do that via their Kindle App.  Essentially a win-win scenario!

To me this is a no-brainer purchase decision.  It offers an excellent e-book reading experience (based on what was shown at the announcement) as well as mobile internet access at a decent, contract-free price.  The app ecosystem Apple has created is bound to step up to the plate and deliver some excellent products to download.  My biggest decision is whether to get the wi-fi only version of the 3G enabled version.  Either way I'll probably go with the 16GB model.  The extra memory available in the 32 and 64GB versions would be nice but I have no problem with having to be picky with what I do and do not load up on the device if it comes down to needed space later on down the road.  To be honest I'll probably stick to using my phone to listen to music daily and use the iPad for ebook reading and other stuff.

Oh, and one more thing for me to consider right now is whether or not to stake out an Apple store overnight when it goes for sale.  Somehow I feel I should do something like that at least once in my life.

[NHL Jerseys]

<p>If I speak in the Cheap authentic NFL Jerseys tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all Official NFL Jerseys knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my USa Jerseys Shop body to the flames,but have not love, I gain nothing.Love is patient, NFL Jerseys love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it NHL Jerseys keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always MLB Jerseys hopes, always perseveres.Love never NHL Hockey Jerseys fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in MLB Baseball Jerseys part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappea. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a NBa Basketball Jerseys man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.and now these three remain: faith, hope and NFL Football Jerseys love. But the greatest of these is love.</p> HYD
