In that time I have managed to test one out twice at the store. Initially I planned to write a review as quickly as possible on launch day to catch all the buzz. I quickly realized that would be a waste of my time since I only spent a total of 30 minutes with the iPad. Also everyone else in the world had already posted their iPad reviews anyhow. Writing another iPad review seemed redundant. Instead of a review I want to focus on the bigger picture of the iPad. Not just the increased screen size but the broader reach of this new category of computers. Will the iPad forever change the way we think about and use computers or is this just another passing fad.]]> http://jeromeshome.com/2010/04/09/ipad-the-bigger-picture/feed/ 2 http://jeromeshome.com/2010/01/27/the-good-the-bad-the-ipad/ http://jeromeshome.com/2010/01/27/the-good-the-bad-the-ipad/#comments Thu, 28 Jan 2010 00:39:01 +0000 Jerome http://jeromeshome.com/?p=454 Apple's newest consumer electronic device was finally announced to the world. The much rumored tablet device, now officially named the iPad, was showcased by Steve Jobs earlier today. Unless you live somewhere without electricity you probably already know all about. Of course if that's the case then it is safe to assume you are not able to read this blog. I don't want to spend a lot of time detailing the specs again so for the full list see Apples iPad Specs page. The basics are a 9.5" LCD screen in a 0.5" thick case that weighs 1.5 pounds. The form factor essentially is a supersized iPod Touch. The screen is multi-touch sensitive and twice the resolution of its smaller cousins. The iPad runs all the existing App Store apps (140,000+ but whos counting). It includes all the standard features of WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Digital compass, and optional 3G support. To really understand what this all means you have to see this thing in action.]]> http://jeromeshome.com/2010/01/27/the-good-the-bad-the-ipad/feed/ 1 http://jeromeshome.com/2006/03/23/fun-pictures/ http://jeromeshome.com/2006/03/23/fun-pictures/#comments Thu, 23 Mar 2006 14:30:26 +0000 Jerome http://jeromeshome.com/?p=293 http://jeromeshome.com/2006/03/23/fun-pictures/feed/ 0 http://jeromeshome.com/2005/05/04/terrifying-tech-tales/ http://jeromeshome.com/2005/05/04/terrifying-tech-tales/#comments Wed, 04 May 2005 16:29:16 +0000 Jerome http://jeromeshome.com/?p=135 http://jeromeshome.com/2005/05/04/terrifying-tech-tales/feed/ 0 http://jeromeshome.com/2005/05/01/double-vision/ http://jeromeshome.com/2005/05/01/double-vision/#comments Sun, 01 May 2005 16:24:05 +0000 Jerome http://jeromeshome.com/?p=127 http://jeromeshome.com/2005/05/01/double-vision/feed/ 0 http://jeromeshome.com/2005/04/21/apple-its-not-a-cult/ http://jeromeshome.com/2005/04/21/apple-its-not-a-cult/#comments Thu, 21 Apr 2005 16:21:16 +0000 Jerome http://jeromeshome.com/?p=122 http://jeromeshome.com/2005/04/21/apple-its-not-a-cult/feed/ 0
