I don't think that's going to happen though. Especially if they plan on downsizing to 7". It'll look cool but 9" is way more productive with apps like SunVox and MS20, and even for running midi into Logic. The 9" just smokes for those reasons.
On the other side of the coin, imo the iPod and iPhone are cooler looking devices than the iPad. They appear more sophisticated simply because you can whip it out and get jamming one-handed, then throw it back into your pocket like nothing ever happened. Very cool. Very smart.
Then the camera factor. 2 people, one with an ipod/phone and the other with a 2nd gen pad. One is going to be way more stealth and a lot less conspicuous.
I think the iPad,is a great device, i have one. But just the cool factor alone is going to bring more iphone buyers than ipad, of course once the 2nd gen newness wears off:)
Apple wants to make sure ipad owners looks at their current ipad in disgust when they see the new one.
ReplyDeleteAlso I guess its going to be a lot cheaper, if Apple wants to be competitive.
