I have to say i have mixed feelings about this new device from apple. I still can&#8217;t decide my overall opinion, but here \u00a0are few thoughts<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pricing seems decent, starting at $499 for wifi and $629 for wifi+3g models. This is definitely nice, not having to shell out another 1000$ as reported.<\/li>\n<li>No camera! Lot of rumors about front facing vs back facing camera, possible login with face recognition etc. Sadly, there is no cam!<\/li>\n<li>Nice dock with keyboard and charger!\u00a0Looks beautiful, and much better than the soft keyboard. I wonder if has a soft keyboard as well.<\/li>\n<li>Price is competitive to netbooks.<\/li>\n<li>Looks like a big ipod Touch! If I buy an app on iphone\/ipod, can i have it on the ipad too? or do i have to buy it again?<\/li>\n<li>Even just being a color kindle is not bad. \u00a0Kindle has an iphone app and all iphone apps are supposed to be 100% compatible with iPad, so why buy a kindle? Can we order kindle books without a kindle?<\/li>\n<li>I already have a kindle, but i wouldn&#8217;t buy a kindle anymore over an ipad, if i were looking at a ebook reader.<\/li>\n<li>Borders seems to be the biggest loser here.<\/li>\n<li>If I were in the market for a netbook, iPad would be near the top of the list as well.<\/li>\n<li>Battery life seems to be a potential issue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall, neat device, but nothing revolutionary. The key thing is that apple got their foot in two segments that are growing very fast &#8211; netbooks, ebooks. Let&#8217;s hope the next revisions of these devices are even that much better<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As usual great keynote preso from steve jobs.
