GADGETS: THE NEW iPAD
Apple has officially began selling its newest product the “New iPad”. Higher pixels and retina displays are attracting those easily captivated by nuance.
The retooled Apple-developed applications and icons really do pop on this thing. When you are look at Web pages or books, text looks smooth and clean — it’s almost a bit surreal how clear it is.
What’s most impressive is that the hardware driving the display doesn’t hesitate at all.
Apple is also bringing deeper, more desktop-like application functionality to the iPad as well, touting complex apps like the new iPhoto for image editing and updates to GarageBand, a music production program. Playing with iPhoto and the new GarageBand was interesting. It feels as if Apple wants to bring high-end features to the iPad. When I spoke with Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, he wouldn’t say whether pro apps like Aperture would make their way to the platform, but he did have a slight grin that made me think the company was at least exploring the options.
One other thing: Apple is keeping the iPad 2 around and knocking down the starting price to $399, which could garner more consumer interest in the brands products. For all of the bells and whistles could the creators think of a more creative name? What happens when its no longer ‘NEW’?
FYI: Another name that has allegedly been circulating is the iPad HD so if seeking information on this ‘newness’ entering either name in the search engines should generate information
