Apple iPad – Awesome or Ho-Hum?

Anyone who has been following Apple Inc. closely the last few years had heard the rumors. There was talk about a “wonder” tablet-style computer for several years now. Supposedly it’s been a project that has undergone many revisions along the way. At one time, it was said that Steve Jobs killed the project outright because, well, it just wasn’t quite right.

The buildup to the January announcement was typical for Apple. Once the Hype machine got going, it became clear that this “tablet” computer DID exist and was going to be unleashed on the public. Apple fans went into a frenzy. Nobody was quite sure what features this gadget would have, how big the screen would be, or how much it would cost. Conflicting information was being flung from all directions.

Apple’s iPhone 1.0 (first gen) now obsolete?!

This was bound to happen eventually. It always happens so it should not be a surprise this time around. Yes – it’s true, if you own an original, bleeding-edge, early adopted, Apple iPhone (1st gen.), then prepare to be even more jealous of those who have the 2nd gen (3G) iPhone.

No. Forget jealous. How about envy?

What is this about? Oh, well you see, Apple announced version 3.0 of their upcoming software (actually firmware) for the iPhone and iPod Touch gadgets. Let me tell you, the forums and message boards have been filled with “noise” about this eagerly anticipated day. Many of the iPhones shortcomings (well known by now) were to be nullified with this new version 3.0.

iPhone Deprived

Am I the only one? With all of the hype and hoopla surrounding the electronic gadget of the century (aka, Apple’s iPhone), you’d think that everyone in the world had one by now. Just not including me.

It’s been out a couple of years now and it seems like everywhere you go, somebody is using an iPhone. Sure, there have been popular gadgets that have come and gone over the years – the Sony Walkman being a perfect example.

I remember those days (back in the ’80s) very well. Being a gadget fanatic, I watched how this one little device changed how people listen to their music. But I didn’t jump on the bandwagon when it was catching on “fire”. No, I waited a bit – I just didn’t see the rush to be on the cutting edge.
