2010-03-30
what's up guys John right here from technobuffalo here having to be able to say that for a while because I've been gone I just got back late last night from Asia I was in Vietnam in Hong Kong they'll be a plenty more about that in a later video but this morning when I was going through all my websites and checking out the things that I'd be regularly i saw the Apple put up a ton of walkthrough videos on the iPad which of course is finally shipping later this week so as I was going through and washing each one of these videos and i'll put links them in the sidebar i started to get much much more excited about the ipad initially i thought when i said this in videos that it looked like just a bigger iphone or ipod touch however after watching all these tutorials getting much more excited about the device i think i'm getting much more of a desktop experience and I initially thought so let's start with safari for example and again go through and watch these videos link again will be in the sidebar you get a more desktop browser experience so you can go through and you have actually have a tool bar across the top and you can bookmark right tool you can get drop-down menus get many more options than you do get right now on your iPhone and iPod Touch probably due to the larger screen size it's more real estate for many years at options you actually hit as opposed to dealing with the smaller three and a half hitch free and found on the iPhone or the ipod touch mail is another example of words that we're seeing some improvements again at the drop-down menus the mail Mick handle navigation on the left hand side and the preview on the right you're still missing some key mail features I want to be able to sort folders are wanting universal inbox none of that is still present another that's so bear and fortunately I'm application but you are getting a bit more options photos is another getting way where we're seeing a bit more desktop like functionality you can right there were these stacks you can pinch them out of pinch them in sort of a neat new feature that we're finding just on the iPad another way where I think we're getting closer to a desktop experience because again this is running the iphones outbreak system is in Apple's sort of bored processing graphic sweets we're talking about keynote Pages and Numbers sort of apple's version of microsoft office so in each of those you'd ability to going to actually create your own spreadsheet PowerPoint presentation or word ask a document and if you had to open up all the Microsoft formats with these applications now you're gonna have to buy them I believe they're going to be 999 each from the app sure we are against capability to actually create your own documents on the go when the ipad has turned in landscape you supposedly and again i haven't seen you on a person you get a keyboard almost this size which shouldn't make typing a relatively easier it's easier then you know we've seen in the past on mobile devices something to look forward to we still don't have any terms multitasking which is a big negative but you are getting the abilities now safe things natively on your device to download them so you can download images pdfs and word documents and pages documents whatever you might have from your mail so we're getting closer to that desktop operating system I think the chip that's being found in the iPad Apple's new a4 for the whole architecture on a little piece of silicon it's a big step in the right direction perhaps this is a preview of what we can expect from the next generation of iphone maybe a more desktop experience the ipad again something that I'm starting to really look forward to even it's I bookreader it looks to be a lot of fun so are you guys any more enthused about the ipad you have no more interesting ipad 2 down a fit waiting for generation to are you going to preorder you're going to wait in line at the store did you order it really curious what you guys want to think about the ipad certain news is trying to hit a fever pitch and i want to start a dialogue about it so guys leave a comment leave a video leave whatever you want about the ipad i'm really curious what you guys have to say i'm jon rettinger I'm back and I'll see in the next video
