Ok it’s been just over a couple of months since I picked up my “brilliant iPhone” I’m pretty sure now that it is the best bit of tech I’ve ever purchased!
The usability is outstanding this is mainly down to the clean and clear approach both Apple and Apple’s App Developers have had to building the iPhone’s UI or User Interface to those that still struggle a bit with engineers abreviations (I include myself in this group).
Anyway I’ll get around to posting about the UI and abreviations another time but for now I wanted to share with you the apps I’ve downloaded thus far. Here goes.
Well you have to hand it to them, I think they may have just done it again.
The revolutionary new Apple ipad has arrived, (well in the US anyway) it may have been the worst kept secret on the Internet yet but when something appears to be this great it’s no real surprise that bits got leaked. But I still managed to get the name wrong,just 4 days ago I tweeted about the prospective name of this new Apple product.
“Really looking forward to owning a islate or inetbook or what ever it ends up being called. You’ve got to love Apple. http://mashable.com – 3:07 PM Jan 24th from the web“
So it’s the ipad that certainly makes much more sense than iNetbook that’s for sure! However iNetbook describes exactly the positioning of this new Mac product. Have just finished watching the Key Note Launch of the ipad held in Paris today, presented by Steve Jobs and co. And I have to say I definitely have the same feeling I did when they show cased my Aluminium Macbook and the new iPhone 3Gs (which I’m picking up on Saturday, yes that long wait has almost killed me).
Media coverage
Well so far the only traditional media coverage I’ve been subjected to is on BBC Radio 1 “Newsbeat” “news report”, it almost seems criminal to call it a report! The managed to do their usual trick of finding the dumbest and chaviest people in London to interview and boy do they talk some sh1t.
“I wouldn’t be seen dead with one of those in South London”
For goodness sake Radio1 you really need to learn how to give a balance true reflection of the “average” person. I was not in London today so was not able to take a trip down to the Apple’s store on Oxford street in fact not even sure it’s there yet as it was only the US launch today, but I can guarantee that when it does arrive there will be a que round the block of people waiting to play with one and an even bigger que of people at the tills.
As mentioned I’m way behind things as I’m just getting my iPhone now as they have only just released it on the Vodafone network my UK network of choice so I still have not had the full pleasure of experiencing the remarkable pleasure of using the ultra slick touch screen apart from every time I come within 3 feet of a friends that I grab out their hands and start playing with. But I’m pretty sure I’ll be not too far down the que on Regents street to add the iPad to my collection of Apple gadgets.
You could say I just can’t get enough Apple’s in my diet!
