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!
Over the weekend I was at an event in which 2/3 of the attendees possessed iPhones; me included. WTF RIGHT? An iPhone is supposed to embellish its owner’s uniquely creative aesthetic and urban-chic hipness, its supposed to project a an air of intellectualism and technological superiority, its supposed to establish it’s owners significance by positioning him/her at the epicenter of their social environment. Clearly this is no-longer true as indicated by the revelation that the iPhone 3G topped the cellphone sales charts this quarter, de-throning the Motorola Razr. Why the Razr was at the top of the chart for 4 years? I have no clue, Its been at least a years since I’ve even seen one in use.
This saturation of iphones in my social circles is increasing and has me concerned about my position in said circles. Am I still unique and urban-chic? Was I ever technologically lntellectable? How do I maintain my social significance?
What to do people? Help!
