Hey guys,
Just wondering what everyone thinks of the new iPad announced by Apple? It appears to be running the iPhone OS instead of some flavour of OSX, so you won't be able to run software such as photoshop on it. I thought it would have been interesting to edit photos on a 10 inch table with multitouch and your fingers - could be a new experience! But oh well, maybe in the future?
However, there is supposedly a very funky image viewing / album app on it.
Personally I was a little underwhelmed by it. For starters, since it runs the iPhone OS, there is no multitasking (i.e. running apps in the background) and the other thing that got me was the lack of flash support. To me it was simply one giant iPhone or iPod Touch, with a whole lot less portability. I guess it remains to be seen where Apple will take it.
