iPad

I was not very convinced when apple released iPad last year. I was not quite sure why would I use it? They released the second version this year and I am still not quite convinced about why would I use it? It looks like some people are gonna use apple product no matter what it is! Apple has a tremendously loyal customer base and it makes product for them!

Interesting enough, many people even try to copy iPad and now the market is full of this kind of tablet, funny huh! I would not be wondered if I buy one tomorrow and start thinking this is cool gadget! There is no doubt it is a cool gadget, but my point is what's for?

I did a little research today, I am amazed that Steve jobs is not the one who invented tablet pc, it is again Microsoft, Microsoft introduced tablet pc back in 2000, at that time it was not popular. It was more like other Microsoft product, a set of buttons and crappy look and so; the true difference from today's iPad is it was not neat! People did not like it at that time, the sad part about Microsoft they have 90% market share for operating system but zero fan where as apple got near 5% market share and even more fan! They are just fanatic, they don't care what apple is making, they know got to have one! I know apple products are beautiful for they are not the best! I personally find no reason to an apple product! Well I bought an iPhone but I would love to trade it for an android phone. The reason I bought an iPhone is it was the cheapest deal at that time, and I am still not in love with it. Certainly I am in love with smart phone but as long as other smart phone provide the same facility I am happy.

I am thinking it would be even more fun to use a android phone. I could make my own application. So there is no seamless interface for app building for iPhone apps in windows! Pity!
