People have been trying all kinds of weird strategies to use the thing, like one poor guy i saw in a coffee shop holding it at an angle with one hand and prodding at it with a single finger, or the people doing giant sized thumb typing with it. I'd say the area where it falls down is the keyboard. I don't know if a better comics reading device could be designed if someone tried. The various video and audio stuff is as you'd expect - very nicely done and very familiar, there's already some good games for it. The eBook stuff is nice, and though I don't expect it would be as good as a reading experience as a Kindle, and the schools using it as their replacement for textbooks are just being ridiculous and trend hopping, but it's just one function of a multi purpose device. Using multitouch on a larger display like that is a great experience, and the whole thing is very slick and solidly built.

But Apple's unpleasant behavior toward a large minority of users/developers is simply not on the same scale as Microsoft's egregious abuse of a monopoly position.

Want something more free? Go to Google the very rapidly rising marketshare of Android devices proves they've got something to offer.ĭon't get me wrong - I'm not happy with these moves by Apple, and in particular the changes to the dev license incense me. If you wanted a non-Microsoft option, you were pretty much SOL right now, there are clearly several viable alternatives to Apple's offering, running Google's OS and Palm's OS and soon Microsoft's OS. Apple has a whopping 25% of the smartphone marketshare right now.

Microsoft totally dominated the PC market, with well over 90% of the market, and used that position to explicitly prevent, for example, OEMs from packaging Netscape. Remember that time Microsoft got sued for antitrust for trying to force people to use IE? Those were good times. Posted by le morte de bea arthur at 3:33 PM on Ap

I'm going to bed to listen to some free audiobooks on my firmware-hacked non-Apple MP3 player. But ultimately the open-source, user-participatory products will win out, in the same way that open-source operating systems will eventually kill Windows. It works really well for them now because they can dictate every aspect of the user experience and deliver something that reeks of good design. They prefer to follow a similar model of restriction and control to that of the music industry.
It shouldn't surprise anyone that they feel threatened by Adobe's attempt to open the market with a different development tool.Īpple go completely against the trend that other manufacturers of phones and PCs are following - namely one of ever-increasing openness and community participation. Development only on the terms of the manufacturer, i.e. It's an entertainment appliance in the same way a handheld games console is. I think people have confused the iPad (and the iPhone similarly) with an actual computer.
But even if its meanders, Apple gets a secure place in history, Ford vs. I think the thin, magazine-sized slab that moves fast, responds to the touch and does one clear task at a time is a form that will keep going. Is the iPad one more in the series? I suspect it is. But it took massive stubbornness and a relentless (perhaps verging on sociopathic) editor to get them in people's lives in a useful form. So yes, there was a graphic interface waving its hands around at Xerox PARC yes there were monitors sitting on handmade cases at the Homebrew Computer Club yes there were mp3 players and apps on phones and demos of multitouch screens. They each gave people a giddy feeling and they're each real accomplishments.Īll four gathered up a lot of unrealized potential that was lying around unused or poorly deployed and gave it a single, charismatic form. The Apple II, the Mac, the iPod, the iPhone - they're all easy to pick on individually, but they're undeniable taken all together. But Apple does make new things, or just new enough that they're startling when they arrive. Part of it is packaging, yes, and style and marketing, yes. Somehow or another, Steve Jobs (or the people he hires, or Apple, your pick) gets people intoxicated about technology, for better and for worse.
