10 super short iPad thoughts, after the storm
Now that the storm seems over and that we digested some noise, here are some gross thoughts on what we are observing about the iPad
- It is probably the most over anticipated AND underestimated device since the iPhone
- The 3 killer features of the Tablet are probably and beyond all expectations and gorgeous UI, 1. speed 2. battery life and 3.price 3 things the iPhone is not yet good at. The rest seems like a decoration
- Probably a killer device for reading. Not sure the Kindle comparison is good because the Kindle is made for reading books. iPad is going to be killer to read 1. Comics / 2 Magazines / 3 PhotoBooks / 4 Music Sheets *
- Multi-tasking is not yet here. let's bet it will be within 12 months. At least some form of communication protocol between key apps (email, calendar, contact, notes)
- In the ad, Jobs does not appear, only Yve, Schiller and Forstdale. One of them will replace Jobs. I would say Yve (most charisma, vision, apple DNA)
- The 2 immediate killer iPhone apps for iPad will be Instapaper and ReadItLater
- How will you deal with an iPhone, running already 1 phone number and an iPad running another? Will there be a sync?
- Will the iPad be used as a Phone? Probably not, even if the function is available on the 3G model. During the Apple event nothing was said about calling. It is more about data and permanent connection
- App discovery for the iPad will become even more critical since a new generation of Apps will raise in addition to current iPhone apps.
- Probably the most missed feature to make the iPad a true macbook replacement, will be a frontal webcam.
Bonus:
We think the iPad will be a major success. Maybe bigger than the iPod touch.
* one thing i really wonder whether Apple thought about, since the iPad is a connected device, will books "web ready"? meaning if i read a sentence, run a search on a word in Google, or find a wikipedia definition instantly. Will there be "Smart reading" enabled vs "Classic Reading"

At least 1 2010 prediction right: the iTablet will run Apps
OK, on 1 prediction at lest we were right. The upcoming "iTablet" or whatever larger-than-iPhone device will be presented in Jan 2010 will run Apps.
What that means is that probably any app already developed for the iPhone/iPod touch, will work on a Tablet. Question is: will you have to buy again the apps you already paid for on your iPhone if you have the same account? If Apple shoots by iTunes rules and what they have done for music, they should allow you to reinstall apps without paying for them a limited number of times.
This also means more discovery and good news for Appsfire :)
