It is getting pretty
hard to ignore all of the
bad press Apple has been getting over their recent
iPad announcement. More than anything, I think Apple's
biggest mistake was in allowing hype and rumor to
inflate expectations.
Behold universe: All your iLife is belong to us. Pretty please?
For months we haven't heard anything different than that Apple's tablet would be a
second coming in the world of tech, but none of the hype was
coming from Apple itself - who was content to remain silent on the issue. I'm sure it was great for them to sit back and allow all of the free marketing and speculation; however, without anyone to check them, all of the iFanatics convinced themselves that
Apple could do no wrong.
So what we're left with is a 10" version of the iPhone that can't do more than one thing at a time...not exactly thrilling stuff for people who were expecting it to function as a touchscreen laptop without a keyboard. Oh well, this certainly isn't the first time hype has made an otherwise underwhelming product appear fantastic.
