The more and more i think about the IPad i find myself realizing that the true success of this device will be in the developers hands not the way it is presented out of the box. To me it can't replace a netbook nor it can be a replacement for a laptop. It also can't replace my i touch nor my iphone and i don't need a third device that can't do full computing and true multitasking.
So where i see this thing fit?
The only way that i can see this thing fit any where if only it gets some serious application development that meet a specific profession needs. let me elaborate on a bit with an example. Imagine what you can do with it if there is some serious DJ software was created to its multitasking touch interface. Imagine what you can do with this if you create a true engineering design and 3d modeling for it.....etc. it has to have a particular purpose that justify and utilize this gorgeous screen but even then you have to have a better core OS that can do multitasking and still run fast on this Apple modified processor.
Either we like it or not its going to be a product that many will love and buy and many will hate and laugh to its site but the one truth remains. Its here and its left out to our creative imagination and talent to make it worth a while.
Peace.
