iPad: What is it Good For?
/However, through every rolling update, (that are still coming even as I write this) I’m stuck wondering what the damn thing is for. By that I mean, is it a gaming device, a reading device, a productivity device, or something else altogether? Or is it simply a hybrid, borne to be something different for everyone?
Alex goes on to argue that iPad should set itself up as something specific and corner itself in a niche. WRONG. Apple has created a device that literally becomes whatever it's doing. This is the greatest part of iPad. Singular focus on the task at hand.
When I'm in Garageband all I'm doing is composing something. When I'm in 'Photos' all I'm doing is enjoying my photos. The same goes for any other app I might be using. The iPad adjusts itself to be exactly what I need.
But I always know that if I want to do something else I'm as little as three taps away. Genius.
