Apple launched its much awaited tablet "ipad", which is now being sold for $499. which I think is a bit too high for Indian consumers, The device weighs just 1.5 pounds, compared with a few pounds for the typical laptop. At a mere half-inch thick, the iPad is also thinner than most laptops, including Apple's super-thin Macbook Air. The entry-level iPad is less expensive than most full-fledged laptops and claims to have a longer battery life at 10 hours, compared with three to four hours for a typical full-sized laptop.

So how do you think this ipad will fare with consumers. Let's see how this new hyped ipad goes about wooing consumers, as iphone and its ipod which is a highly popular product from Apple, and whether it will give a laptops a run for their money.

No, I don't think so that ipad will replace laptops or netbooks, even I was following very keenly the launch of ipad which had created so much buzz. And $499 is too costly for one, though looks good and sleek, I really thought the ipad will be...

iPad is NOT having flash support and it won't support multi-tasking (have to close one app/program to open another). And there is no built-in camera and much more shortcomings. Thanks Read our Review Will Apple iPad kill Amazon Kindle?

I am on the fence about this issue but am going to say no. Maybe not for another few years. And iPad revolutionizing the published book market in a manner similar to what iPod did to music industry is unthinkable because as Sumitra pointed out...

The chance of Apple having the same impact on the e-book market as they had on the music industry is pretty slim. But still, iPad will enable publishers to display content in new ways, such as incorporating photos, elaborate graphics and video in...

With every bottom-up step from iPod to iPhone and top-down step from Mac Book to Mac Air, Apple has blurred boundaries between a laptop and mobile device, entertainment and productivity, and finally improvisation and innovation. iPad is a great...

Few more: 1.Apple focuses on consumer Market where as Microsoft focuses on Enterprise market which is huge in size and revenue. 2.Apple shows too much proprietorship compare to Microsoft. 3.Microsoft products are less in price and has huge scope.

10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours. YOU say that our government is inefficient. YOU say that our laws are too old. YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage. YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination. YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits. YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it? Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name - 'YOURS'. Give him a face - 'YOURS'. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a...
