@La_chica_gomela what I meant was that the interaction with a new class of device means that you can’t truly understand what level of interest you may or may not have until you actually try it; a lot of the reviewers agree on the points of limited functions out of the gate, but you can bet that Apple has a lot more planned for that device than what was presented.
Also, Apple is targeting media consumption, versus hard-core productivity, so things like physical keyboards and cursors are really not an emphasis in the design philosophy. Perhaps, the advanced multi-touch gestures are not ready yet, but with such a large screen you have to think that large gestures with more than “pinch and scroll” have to be in the pipeline.
This is what I meant when I said that you haven’t tried it…to me the iPad as presented yesterday was “half-baked.” With any luck, there may be as-yet unannounced features (software) that may surface in the next 60 days…for instance, iPhone OS 3.2 was driving that system, yet iPhone 4.0 was expected; it may be ready by launch.
Most forget about how limited the 1st gen iPhone was, but even so, the multi-touch and convergence concepts still sold folks and fueled further development for the 2nd gen…I think that will be the case for the 2nd gen iPad, as we’ll see a lot of the hardware and software features missed in that revision, bet on it.
Also, there are several features that for whatever reason were not emphasized, that this 1st gen device is surely capable of; among these, the emphasis on cloud computing and their (Apple’s) Mobile Me service; there may be more to the iWork app in the idea of storing actual files in the cloud. Remember that there is no file structure as in a PC/Mac that is full-fledged (i.e. the idea of going to a File: menu and opening files from a directory on the hard drive). With Mobile Me sync what it is with photos and movies, this surely will expand into the other document spaces (like pages and keynote files, etc.); it may be exciting to see this make its way into iLife ‘10 “in the cloud.”
