countdown













The countdown for ipad 2.0 is in full force. The problem is that no one actually knows what day we are counting down to. However, based on most current information I have obtained from my long list of mac rumor blogs that I check daily I am confident that the day we are counting down to is sooner than we think.

I have wanted one since they came out but due to the nature of my school work I have convinced myself that the ipad is no longer a want but a need in my everyday life. Instead of getting one for christmas I have been determined to buy the newer model. 

The Wall Street Journal released an article this week discussing the newest features of ipad second generation.  The second model is expected to be lighter and thinner, with a front facing camera that can be used for videoconferencing. 

When I first heard about the ipad I was skeptical of its need. Do cell phones and computers not serve the same purpose? But the ipad is in a different market of its own. It does not compete with a computer or a cell phone. It is large enough to read on while small enough to carry with you. 

And it seems that it is not just tech people jumping on the ipad trend everyone one from target, Incase,  Micheal Kors, and  even Prada have created cases for this technological innovation











But today I was informed by Rachel of a story about a population who is finding the ipad to be much more than just a want. There have been stories published discussing the use of ipads with children diagnosed with autism.   It is very cool that this new technology may not just be changing the way we do business or the way we read or even the way we do schoolwork but this product has gone above and beyond all expectations and has changed the game in far more than just the technology market.
here is the article

I guess apple has once again surpassed my expectations.


until then,
