With sales mounting now more than one million units, in fact more than 2 million units sold and counting…
The idea that the iPad is still here and is not going away, is not so hard to believe.
If you listen to Steve Jobs, his new iPad will make a ding in the universe, well perhaps, eventually, all though there may be one thing that Steve forgot to mention, that was he allegedly has less than desirable people skills, (allegedly)
Putting that aside for now, at least, and the fact that Steve offended, (again allegedly) millions of developers around the world with his most recent SDK 4.o and you still have a very nice product offering, one that could very well be one of the best selling christmas items of this year and perhaps beyond, setting sales records, for the last two years, was the iPod, now we have what could be even a more popular product in the iPad, however, some have suggested that there are some issues, that perhaps the lofty mind of Steve Jobs has not considered…
Many are openly weeping about the way that the unit was designed, without a camera, but I guess that because of cost considerations, Steve wanted to have a unit that just about anyone could afford, or charge to a credit card, LOL.
Still, the app store, is another thing if you are keeping up with the latest information in many of the developer forums, there are several companies, (that have supported MAC for years and years, and with the latest license terms)
These companies that have literally supported MAC for so long now, find themselves on the outside looking in,
Now that is disturbing, knowing one company in particular, RunRev LTD, which spent literally thousands and thousands and did I say thousands, getting ready for a big product offering, for the iPad and iPhone, yet were slapped down like dogs, by the great and wonderful, OZ.
To me it appears to be a really bad, thing, bad PR, bad move all around, but the public, may not realize that all these things are going on in the background…
While the stock price may be going up for now, once all this really perverse, (again allegedly), only allegedly, we would not want the all powerful OZ, to come down and reject our app that is pending review in the app store, (it is an iPad app and it has been in review for a long long long time now.)
You just have to wonder, with only a few iPad apps out there, rumors say that the commercials are not as accurate as they might want you to believe, allegedly…
Because of the problems at the iTunes app store, huge I hear, (allegedly)
I sure hope to see some better and more friendly news from Apple soon, but in the time being, I guess I can read a book on my new iPad, if not much else…
