He arrived, finally!
Yes, but what? Is not a laptop, not a real tablet, not an ebook reader, not a phone ... I mean surely we know what is not, but still nobody except Steve Jobs knows what it is and what it can serve.
Let's see the features:
Height: 242.8 mm
Width: 189.7 mm
Thickness: 13.4 mm
Weight: 0.68 kg Wi-Fi model
0.73 kg Wi-Fi + 3G model
Display 9.7 "Multi-Touch
Resolution: 1024 × 768-pixel display with 132ppi
Processor: 1GHz Apple A4 custom-designed
Disk: 16GB, 32GB, 64GB flash drive
Wi-Fi (802.11 a / b / g / n)
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR technology
UMTS / HSDPA (850, 1900, 2100 MHz) on selected models
GSM / EDGE (850, 900.1800, 1900 MHz) on selected models
Digital compass
Assisted GPS
Iphone OSX operating system
All that is to explain the link that binds the iphone and a mac.
But instead ... because I see the same characteristics of a common IPhone 3G with just a bigger screen?
It is inconvenient: as nearly 10 inches to carry around, not as powerful as a laptop and does not mount an operating system worthy of the name is derived from OSX but is castrated as I could!
A limitation of all? Not multitask!
Of course, on a smartphone is not so heavy a lack, but about half that goes beyond the phone, I find it very limiting.
Another typical feature of the iPhone? Well, any program that you install must be approved by Apple, downloaded with the permission of Apple, which will delete it when it deems necessary.
No programs using the system, but only programs that use an SDK supplied by Steve.
I doubt it can be considered as an ebook reader, not because of the limited power, but because it has a "normal" (however beautiful) LCD screen, easy to read web pages, really tiring to read a book for a few hours.
It has no front camera, so no video calls over Skype!
My hope was to have a MacBook with monitor 10 "OSX without keyboard and with a suitable interface to multitouch, that's that then it would be a distortion.
The usability of the iPhone that beating on the phone, coupled with the potential for a MacBook!
But of this I heard when the ipad really need? Not me!
