For this event I have chosen to write about the release of the long awaited Apple iPad and its likely influence on the future of print media. In the short time since the iPad has been out it has received rave reviews the world over. Hailed as the 'Netbook killer' Apple recently announced that they have sold over 2 million in the first 59 days of release.. the fastest of any product hey have ever produced. In comparison it took over two years to sell the first 2 million iPods. As I am one of those 'early adopters' I have first hand experience with the future potential of this 'game changing' device.
After such a successful launch magazines, newspapers and website developers are just gagging to jump on the band wagon.. As 'eco' is a massive Buzz Word at the moment people are quickly looking to the iPad as the future of portable media content in ALL forms.. No more printers, no more paper... Digital is the progression.. It's far more intermate to use than the tried and true peripheral mouse and keyboard combo, lighter than a magazine, a real world 10+ hour battery life (but seriously, I havent charged it for 4 days and it still has 20%!!!)- incredible. HD screen with IPS technology (super high contrast ratio and 178degree viewing angle - minimal visual and color distortion). Nice to read on, crisp clear text..one thing that does a million things... the future is upon us!!
Coming next - Digital toilet paper??
