The Apple iPad

So… I was right.

Not to gloat (ok, maybe a little bit) I called it on December 26. The iPad would be just a big iPhone. I even managed to post the name they would eventually use, the iPad.

Looking at the device now that it has been released, it does have some new native apps but for all purposes that count it’s a big screen iPhone. And that’s in the expensive version, it’s  just an iPod Touch in the cheaper version.

They brought it out. That’ s what matters.. it’s a real product. Hopefully there will be advances in the coming versions and I hope they do really well. As I said in my other post, I’m hoping this brings about a rash of competing devices that will eventually give me “The perfect hardware device”.
