IPad less than revolutionary for now, but holds great promise
LA TimesOnly Steve Jobs could make anticlimax seem so fascinating. Wednesday morning, you could track the palpable deflation among those attending Apple’s event by following their Twitter feeds from the auditorium at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center: “Nothing mindblowing yet”... “Many disappointments so far”... “This crowd is dying of boredom.” That’s not even counting the expectations stirred up by tech pundit Jason Calacanis, who claimed the night before to have been testing a model with two cameras, a built-in video recorder and a solar grid for charging. A postmortem gray” that was a “four-by-five window onto an overcast afternoon.” For only $10 more, you can have Apple’s entry-level iPad, with four times as much storage, a high-contrast full-color screen -- also 9.7 inches diagonally -- a dedicated eReader application that looks as if it will be less clunky than the Kindle’s, and Web-browsing capability that the Kindle lacks. Much of the pre-launch speculation concerned whether Apple’s new device might rescue newspapers and magazines from the dead end of free online content, which has helped corrode their business model. Steve Jobs closed his presentation Wednesday by proclaiming the iPad to be “a magical and revolutionary device.” It’s much less than that, now.
