iPad hands on: Yah, its a giant iTouch with a silly name but now I REALLY want one
I’ve got to hand it to Apple. They have an incredible marketing team combined with beautiful industrial design (thanks to Ives) that really pushes their products above competitors.
I just demoed an iPad at our local Apple Store and I want one even more than before. I tried out a handful of apps (Mint, USA Today) and got what I expected but what I didn’t expect was how fantastic the games were. I demoed Garage Band and a racing demo and was really impressed. I hadn’t even considered games (I mostly wanted the comic book apps) but this is just one more feather in the iPads well designed cap.
I know the critics keep calling it a giant iTouch or a giant crippled iPhone but that doesn’t stop this fan boy from falling under the Apple spell once again.
