It just made the iPad one-third thinner, 15 percent lighter and twice as fast. There are no new features except two cameras and a gyroscope. I mean, yawn, right?<br /><br />And then you start playing with it.<br /><br />My friends, I’m telling you: just that much improvement in thinness, weight and speed transforms the experience. We’re not talking about a laptop or a TV, where you don’t notice its thickness while in use. This is a tablet. You are almost always holding it. Thin and light are unbelievably important for comfort and the overall delight. So are rounded edges, which the first iPad didn’t have."talandisjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16639759651608916155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1501616849422428033.post-91589027343351446482011-03-03T15:58:43.069+09:002011-03-03T15:58:43.069+09:00Just occurred to me that GarageBand will make a su...Just occurred to me that GarageBand will make a super on-the-go audio editor for teachers. You don't HAVE to use it for music- it would come in handy for editing/processing student conversation tests and stuff.talandisjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16639759651608916155noreply@blogger.com
