Joel Johnson from Gizmodo did a great analysis of the Apple iPad, judging it after one day of use. He also tried to figure out the reasons for the device’s hype and saw its launch through the eyes of an average user. Does the device live up to your expectations?
Apparently, Joel already faced a couple of app crashes and claims that rescaled iPhone applications are not something Apple should be proud of. The iPad is still a sleek piece of gadgetry, moving fast, appealing interface and all, but it still has a lot of flaws. Gizmodo’s editor even compares it to getting a new puppy: “you’re excited for a couple of hours and then it sh*ts the bed”.
Also, the product is pretty heavy, fragile and the virtual keyboard takes a while to get used to. Will this mean the doom of netbooks? I guess the average user will decide…
