The Still of the Night Causes a Storm in the Mind

I wrote a post earlier which was pretty critical of the iPad. I wrote about all the differing opinions and the pros and cons, etc, etc. That post was erased as I went to publish it.

I took that as a sign. My initial take on the iPad is that it’s nothing but a large iPod Touch and that I won’t get one because I already have access to everything that I need by carrying an iPhone and an iPod Touch simultaneously (which still takes up less space than an iPad). Truth be told though, this is a short sighted attitude. Granted I think everyone knew that the iPhone/iPod Touch would be grand slams (I did for sure) and the iPad’s future isn’t as certain.

I for one will offer some support for the device and test the waters at least. As it stands iPhone development is so easy that it’s almost trivial compared to PC development and the iPad will be no different. I have had modest success on the iPhone but have been unable to create a must have game. Perhaps I will find more success with the iPad which lends itself better to in-person social experiences. With the barrier to entry so low there’s no reason not to give it a try.
