On this iPad thing, since its release in April 2010 iPad has become the major contender of tablet PC segment. the description of iPad: a platform for audio-visual media including books, periodicals, musics, games and web contents. Mostly, it adopts iPhone tech and then is built larger to be called tablet PC, it is in 9,7 in screen and uses multitouch feature to operate. In my opinion it doesn't look completely like tablet PC, some Apple fanatics would so love to call this "revolution in PC history", it doesn't have physical keyboard altho you can buy separately a hardware keyboard for iPad. In addition, it can't exercise any serious programmes, low in memory, mediocre processor and low on connectivity.
iPad, in my serious honest opinion, is in twilight zone between smartphone and tablet PC. But of course it can't make a phone call. iPad user finds it useful during the growing of so called social media. iPad seems to come in handy to perform such needs in social media such as twitter, facebook, flickr and the likes. And not to mention the growing of digital books and newspapers.
But seriously, I remember my first experience of iPad and all I can do was playing Angry Birds. It was so much fun tho. Got extremely bored in the end. Just so you know, I am not an 'anti Apple products', I am now using 13 in MacBook Pro Unibody. Mac OS so far is the most convenient way to experience a laptop, despite its lack of programs relatively compared to Windows. But it'll solve soon, I hope.
All I am saying here is I still have no idea why bother spending my money to get an iPad. I can't stand carrying a 9,7 in 730 g "book" everywhere around. I am not that type of person, not in a million chances. Mea Culpa.
But until today I can't say any arguments that's against the fact that iPad's got its grab to the market, seriously vast market. I love to call this the "participating phase". The phase of which large insensitive consumers are following to the "sharp" and sensitive ones. Well I might as well explain the "phase". There are three phases in price structuring, the accumulative phase, participating phase, and redistributing phase. It is similar to the business cycle only in smaller perspective.. or shorter-term.
In accumulative phase, sharp and tech-sensitive consumers are having their hands on iPad first, they're famous called.. Geek. After the accumulative phase, there's participating phase of which ignorant insensitive consumers are participating in the tech party also, also called follower. The reason behind existence of participating phase is that after the geeks has done "trial and error" sessions on the tech (in this case, iPad) they're beginning to become aware of the tech and try to join the buying spree in order not to be left by the herd's trend. This phase is indicated by extreme increase in numbers/volume of iPad sales during some period. In this phase more people are joining until.. Redistribution phase. In this phase, those followers are getting bored of the iPad thing, they need new excitements, or in harsh fashion, they need new ego boosters.
Really, if you're not a commuter busily working everyday but need to check on news, updates and remote power point or excel files, just don't buy iPad. Well can't say that this nation doesn't need you, we need you guys to keep on stimulating our economy. Just be smart, okay.
