Today’s video comes to us courtesy of a mentally impoverished home shopping host, who demonstrates the lethality of a faulty Wii remote. This video inspires faith in me that this remote will hold up like a champ in the presence of bystanding young children, the elderly, and small dogs.
Enter probably the worst kept secret in consumer electronics history, Apple’s tablet, the iPad. Rumors have been circulating the web for some time now assuring us that Apple will be bringing a new device to the market. Today, those rumors were answered with the iPad.
Pricing for Apple’s new tablet is set at $499 with a data plan from AT&T. Currently, this gadget is situated at an uncomfortable price point, more expensive than a netbook, less expensive than a laptop or smartphone. The iPad will be able to run some iPhone applications, as well as being able to take advantage of an exclusive agreement with the New York Times to read the virtual paper right on the device.
Mr. Jobs stated that the iPad will be a completely new and better web browsing experience than on either a laptop or smartphone. Personally, I am drooling over this new device, but I don’t think I will be running out and purchasing one any time soon. This device won’t be able to do anything that either my laptop or cellphone can’t do, leading me to believe that Apple may have a hard time carving out a target market for the iPad.
