I really don't understand the iPad (or tablets like that in general)... if people were buying it as a living room item (ie a stop-gap before we all have internet touchscreen TVs or whatever) then I could understand, a nice slim touch-sensitive half functional computer that boots up quick would be a cool thing to have in the living room for a quick browse in the advert break or for those apple families connect all their iPhones and play a board game or something. However, people seem to be buying them for themselves like an iPhone. |
Apple has a God-tier marketing department. No-one can compete with them when it comes to making people desperately want things that are absolutely useless.
NB tablets were introduced several years ago, but they faded into obscurity because no-one wanted them. Apple just rehashed an old idea that most people had forgotten about or never known about in the first place, pretended it was a "revolution" and marketed it well. As a result, tablets went from being some obscure device no-one wanted, into the second coming of Jebus. That's the power of marketing.
I should really buy stock in Apple. They're share prices will go through the roof when they announce the iPad nano!
