The announcement of iPad from Apple got me thinking about the usability of such a product. After all the jokes about the name and the giant iPhone wanna be feel, it seems like iPad might be a perfect solution for people on the go, photographers, presenters, and grandmas! Yes, grandmas! Imagine how perfect it is for cute ladies who press all the buttons at the same time while checking their email, delete programs by mistake, and then say that they didn’t do anything. The learning curve on such products is minimal and the ability to mess things up is almost none existent! iPad definitely has it’s niche, but to satisfy all the complaints, Notion Ink’s Adam comes to the rescue! It has very impressive technology and specs, theoretically works better than Apple, but it’s not Apple! …and that might be a problem. I guess we’ll see how it’ll all play out this spring: better technology for the same money vs. reliability and appeal of Apple products.
