Apple iPad
I will say that I'm not an Apple person in the slightest, but I have to admit that using the iPad the other day was very surprising. I hadn't expected to find the iPad that personal or easy to use but I do have to admit that the ease of using the iPad coupled with the personalization that you can have with an iPad was very surprising to me. I will also say that the design of it makes you want to just scoop it up off the table or desk or whatever before you bolt off to class or wherever. It makes it simple to understand how it has been outselling the iPhone ever since it was released, as it is easy to use and just the aesthetic of it makes you want to hold it. The iPad seems to be something simple enough that anyone could use, and when combined with the vast personalization options that you get it makes a great deal of sense that the iPad is so popular. I have to admit that when I heard we were going to be looking at the iPad in class this week I was kind of bored by it, just in a way that we get to use bad technology, but I have to say that personally I was blown away by it. You can do anything to make it uniquely you, there are even apps to help you make the shelves on the home screen the way you want. I was amazed by the ease of use and responsiveness of it was a nice surprise. I have to say that at first I was just bored with it but I have to say that the iPad has really caught my fancy and is quite the machine.

i think this what you're saying is the quint essential Jobs-ness of the product. The minimalist design really makes it seem boring but then you get into it and it blows your mind. And that's why i rarely leave the house without it.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you about not being an Apple person. Apple products always seemed so "overrated" to me, just because they got a lot of hype. But while I'm still an Android girl all the way, I've started coming around to the idea of iPads and iPhones. Steve Jobs really did create them for users' convenience, and I'm starting to realize that while playing around with them. Also, Apple offers a lot of apps that aren't on the Android market, which is cool. I'll probably still stick with my Samsung Galaxy S3, but I definitely don't despise Apple as much now.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see your response to Apple products, and it seems like Chris was a good seller! But in these posts try to lengthen your thoughts some. I'd like to see more than one paragraph and for you to develop your thoughts with a little more length..
