Apple's iPad Tablet - A disappointment or an Elation?

Yesterday (on Jan 27th, 2010 - 3 days after the Mac's 26th anniversary), Apple announced the launch of the iPad, its new Tablet device - a completely new product line which fits somewhere between the iPhone and the iPod Touch, and the MacBook.

While some call iPad a great innovative device which could go handy as a portable multi-touch HD video player, eBook and ePaper reader i color and style, a 3D game console, and an Internet surfing and communication device as well as a basic portable Mac computer (thanks to Apple's adapted suite of photo editing tools, a Cocoa-touch version of iWork which I would call Apple's answer to Microsoft Office), others call it as a disappointment regarding to the tablet as an enlarged version of iPod Touch or an iphone without a camera - probably because of the fact that the the tablet device works much like an iPhone, running the applications presently available for the iPhone thanks to its iPhone OS-based operating system running on a microchip called A4 - Apple's own chip for the first time after about a decade.

The disappointed also complain about the limited storage capacity of iPad as well as its lack of multi-tasking capability.

iPad also lacks a camera, although it has a built-in microphone.

Neon Desolation: A CyberPunk Short Story

In the city of Neo-Babylon, year 2073, rain seemingly never stopped. Metallic droplets clattered on chrome roofs, a ceaseless symphony of the future. Neon lights punctured the gloom, reflecting off slick streets and towering monoliths of steel and glass. Amid this panorama of progress, countless digital billboards flashed images of prosperity and satisfaction. But beneath the glossy surface, shadows crept. Our protagonist, Jack, was an echo runner. A professional data thief, wired to the teeth with the latest sub-dermal implants. He carried secrets from one end of the city to the other, an encrypted courier in an age where trust was as scarce as clean air.
