iPad – Beauty or Bust

There is no question, that when Apple sets out to design something they go all out. In fact some might argue that people by Apple products, not because of their technological potential but because of their design. On Wednesday Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the next big thing for Apple, the iPad. The iPad looks much like an iPhone on steroids.

Apple is calling the iPad, “Our most advanced technology in a magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price!”

I personally like the iPad and was wowed by the technology, however I’ll most likely wait to purchase one until the second generation. But we are wondering what people think about it, while this be the next iPhone or iPod for Apple or will it be more like Apple TV.

We have put together a list of Pros and Cons

Pros

• Price
• Apps
• Slick iPhone Design
• iWorks
• iBooks
• Not contractual data plan
• Large Screen

Cons

• No Camera
• No Flash Application support
• No Background Applications
• No Phone Option
• No USB/HDMI Cables
• The Name

Time will tell if the iPad will be a thing of beauty Apple can add to it’s list of accomplishments or if it will be a bust like Apple TV.
