"The Time Is NOW"

The time is now and the Apple iPad will be released in just 2 days. I just want to give my points on what I think will happen when it's released. I believe the iPad will be a success. I think more iPad's will be sold in the first 6 Months then the amount of iPhone's that were sold in its first 6 Months after being released. I just think alot of people are going to go after this product. It will take time to develop and to get more people to purchase one.

As of now when it's released, it is a great gadget for entertainment. The iPad will change how people play games, reading, computerization, and watching television.

It's going to be fun to use, but it will be useless to do common work task like we do everyday on our home computers for school or work related. What I mean by this is that it's going to take a long time until it will be compatible to everything. The biggest challenge is getting more people interested in the product and to have them purchase it.



I don't think this is as big as to when Apple released the iMac or the iPhone. But because of this type of product I know it will change Apple and bring in alot of money. Just like when the iPhone was release, there was numerous copycats out there soon after. The same thing will happen with the iPad and nothing will come close. The iPad has an uncanny ability to cook up gadgets that we didn’t know we needed, but then suddenly can’t live without. The iPad is his personal pet project. It's going to be the new way to people communicating.

Who's Buzzing with Google Buzz?

Google Buzz has already created 9 million posts and comments that have been created in the first two days. They're also seeing over 200 posts per minute from mobile phones. As I see what they're trying to create but they are way late in which facebook/myspace and now twitter has been years ahead of them. Yes, google Buzz offer some different and maybe some better features but they way I look at it is they would have to advertise heavily to get more people involve, which it could work but you would just need more people in the loop.



I have been a twitter user for awhile now so I really enjoy stuff like this. It's fun to me but also a nice way to bring everyone together virtually all the time. I use my twitter a lot for sports related news and it's has been a way to communicate with other fans and also a way to find news as it folds.



Google Buzz on the phone is what's going to work for them. Yes they have a mobile site but they would have to create a application for the phones in a way like twitter does. Along with that and a little more of a user interface this could be the next big buzz.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveil the revolutionary new iPad

Just for the record, This was the first Apple Special Event I have watched, actually this is the first I have seen of Steve Jobs or heard his voice. I'm new to the Apple world even though I owned I iPhone since the day of the release, but that was from accident but I'm glad it happen. Recently I had been fallen in love with Apple and just recently bought me a MacBook Pro and I can't put it down.

I heard from people about this new announcement from this Apple Special Event of a new gadget which has been reveled as the Apple iPad.

I really think this may be 'After some updates" a really good product, but they are really late in introducing this as there has been many like this in the past but this is far better. As a iPhone owner I don't think this is much of a big deal as to me it's a "iPhone of steriods". I am very shock it doesn't come with a camera, yes a camera. I though it could be used more in the business world for video conferences. What I like from the iPad is the A4 chip which is so power efficient that it helps iPad get up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. Lets not forget about the sweet Keyboard Dock, for instance, combines a dock with a full-size keyboard.

As for the presentation itself I was impress, not like a Bill Gates Microsoft which is usually a mess. I think the whole way he did the approach was amazing. Now the Keynote which I just figure out it's apple's version of PowerPoint and I can't wait to start using it. The black shirts was just perfect way to make it more unique and interesting. Just look how far they came from 9 years ago.

I was really disappointed that a new iPhone wasn't announced. My iPhone has a cracked screen which I know I can get fix but I cannot afford to be without my iPhone for more then 30 minutes so I figure I just wait until a new one is release and just get a upgrade price for the new one. Along with that I hope that the new iPhone comes with tethering and a better deal on service then AT&T.
