Second one in a day...wow..this has to be a record for me. Although...I don't think these posts count, as they aren't directly about my life. But...I'm going with it anyway.

I need to vent. It's been about a month or so since the iPad was announced. It's released next month. I really am sick and freakin tired of people moaning and b----ing about how "Apple didn't consult them on the design/use/OS/what-have-you" about this device. I just kills me that people can be so close minded about stupid things like this.

The iPad is a device that, through a couple generations, change the way computing is done for a lot of businesses and individuals. Think about it: lawyers, doctors, foremen, executives, students, grandparents....everyone can use this thing to their advantage. And when they start making touch-centric apps of the regular software (Aperture, Logic, Final Cut, etc...) this thing will be a beast of a production machine. Just imagine all the possibilities a touch screen brings to certain apps that we use everyday in our different business fields.

Then....imagine all the people of the older generation, most computer illiterate.this thing is so simple and easy to use, even my grandmother can use it to do what she needs too (keep up with the family across the country, check email, buy tickets, check gas prices, etc...). The lists and possibilities are endless.

Yes: they should have added a camera. Yes: they should have tweaked the OS a bit more (ai kan haz OSX?).There are a lot fo things they should/could have done.

But one thing Apple and Jobs didn't do was compromise the integrity and quality of the company. They have pushed out a quality product, and will (for the sake of more profit) push out subsequent generations that will blow everything else out of the water and provide us all with (pardon the terribly cliched pun) science fact.

Rant done. Sorry.

I'm going to bed.
