The iPad was introduced at the beginning of April and the more important (to me) version of the 3G wireless was introduced by the end of the month April 30th! This has been an amazingly useful tool. Karen wrote a blog post in which she describes how useful the iPad has been in her life.
Oh, I have heard it all! Some folks talk about waiting until the iPad has all of it’s bugs worked out, some talk about the price and some say it doesn’t ‘do enough’ to make the purchase worthwhile. The last point has some merit because if the iPad did more than just Skype then the iPhone would be little more than a convenience.
So, now we are seeing that a lot of folks missed the ipad boat and thought they’d upgrade their phone and get a mini-iPad in the new iPhone or ios4. Unfortunately, for Apple, it appears that ATT hasn’t really gotten their act together or they were caught flat footed with the incredible pressure for this remarkable new phone.
For whatever reason, A.T. & T. has been given the exclusive ‘golden’ apples in the form of the iPhone and the iPad and … they have once again underestimated demand and they were unprepared. Hopefully this situation is being addressed at A.T. & T. … along with more competitive pricing.
Congratulations to Apple once again, very impressive.
