Many people have expressed dis-interest in the iPad as we’ve all had such grand hopes and dreams of the miracles this device could afford us to perform. But, let’s get our heads out of the clouds for a second and think about this rationally…. For a device that starts at $500, what minimal additions are musts before you’d consider purchasing said device? For me, there are 2 things lacking that need to be rectified before I’d purchase.
1) Flash support
2) Multitasking
I think a lot of people would agree with me on this one. Yes? I guess an alternative would be to just open up the platform and let developers go wild… but, again; heads out of the clouds people!
While this isn’t a typical week it does encapsulate a lot of the things I’m involved with on an ongoing basis.
1) SAN Upgrades and Expansion (Now with 30+ TB, that’s 30,000GB… like whoa!)
2) Edit Updates, Final Cut Studio 3/Snow Leopard x 3(What a Pain in the arse!)
3) Rhozet Encoding Farm Reconfiguration (This is My Precious)
4) Closed Captioning Extraction Exploratory/Requirements Meeting
5) Begin Configuring Competitive Analysis Lab (Christmas Came Early)
6) Finalizing/Screening End of year sizzle reel. (It looks pretty damn good! Big ups to @cilantrocado. Too bad it’s confidential otherwise I’d post it!)
7) Un-boxing/Inventory of Production Equipment. (Ohhh, did I mention the Canon 7D? Whoot Whoot!)
7) National Product Launch (xfinity, yeah it’s kinda a big deal!)
