The 3G ipad tablet takes Japan by storm

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

IPAD, Apple Inc., in Japan has generated a level of enthusiasm and excitement rarely seen recently by a technology loving country in this technology. After selling over a million units in the U.S. since it went on sale on April 2, the IPAD debuted on Friday in Japan and other nations. Softbank Corp., the exclusive carrier in Japan for the IPAD, stopped taking reservations after only three days. Several business and technology magazine published Japanese notes on the debut cover of the IPAD, and one even said in English: “Here comes the game-changer” (something like “here comes the innovative”).

Since Thursday, lines began forming in front of Apple stores and Softbank in Tokyo. Many customers had already reserved a IPAD few weeks ago, but were willing to stay up late to get their  own ipad in hand as soon as it opened.

“Japanese products are very sophisticated and powerful, but they do not have the same charm that Apple  has,” said Kazuto Ishimura, a student of 21 who was third in the queue outside the Apple store to buy a  3g ipad tablet in the upmarket Ginza district.

The success of the iPhone has proved the skeptics wrong. One explanation is that Apple products have become branded accessories, the  technological equivalent of another Japanese favorite: a portfolio of Louis Vuitton  fashion accesories. However, it remains to be seen whether the IPAD can sustain its initial enthusiasm in Japan.

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Apple Inc. reported that sales on Friday  of the 3g IPAD reached one million units, the same day the company launched its long-awaited 3G ipad tablet version of the device, as sales continue to grow.
“A million 3g ipad  tablets  iPads in 28 days, that’s less than half of the 74 days it took the iPhone to achieve this milestone,” said Chief Executive Steve Jobs, who stressed that “demand continues to outstrip supply.”
The computer maker, of the iPod and iPhone,also noted that the IPAD users have downloaded more than 12 million applications and over 1.5 million books in electronic format.

The company started selling a 3G version of the device and consumers had already taken most of which were available at the company stores on Sunday. Apple stores in San Francisco, New York, Boston and Houston told The Wall Street Journal that they had no models of the 3G IPAD Sunday.

Gene Munster, an analyst with Piper Jaffray & Co., estimated that Apple sold 300,000 3G IPAD during the weekend, including pre-orders and online sales.Apple said last month it would delay the international launch of IPAD because it has not kept pace with local demand which was greater than expected. The company planned to start selling the IPAD in other countries in late April, but moved the date to late May.

Watch television on the 3G ipad

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

With just two weeks for the 3G  iPad  tablet goes on sale, Apple Inc. is trying to secure content for the device, people familiar with the situation, which have reduced the initial ambitions for the long awaited device.

Since last Friday, when it began conducting pre-orders from the iPad, Apple has sold hundreds of thousands of units, the sources claim. One of these people said Apple could sell more iPads in the first three months the number of iPhones sold during the same period after its debut.

However, the company still is negotiating with media groups to achieve a reduction in prices in the television programs that people can download to the device, the sources said. Apple is also expected to work closely with publishers of newspapers, magazines and textbooks to find new ways to present content digitally printed on the iPad, but had to postpone these plans to focus on other content, said a person.

Apple is rushing to complete some negotiations with potential content partners for  the 3G ipad  tablet content before the launch of the iPad on April 3, the sources said. But determining the content is proving challenging as some potential partners weigh the advantages of working with Apple against possible threats to their current revenue sources, added these people.

Apple 3G Ipad Tablet reviews against Amazon Kindle

Friday, February 12th, 2010

Yes, the  3GiPad   tabletcomes with its limitations. There’s no camera, in the 3G iapd tablet no SD card slot, no Adobe Flash technology. But when you look at  the 3G  iPad tablet in comparison with other e-readers available today, it is now clearly the best device on the market for those who enjoy reading.

Content is changing, but the Kindle is not.

Although the Kindle made amazing headway in the digital book market, helping push the boundaries on digital reading devices and the acceptance of these technologies, the iPad is a tectonic shift to the e-reader and e-book marketplace.

If you look at the way many of us consume content online, it’s shifting from just reading words to consuming multimedia. We view images, watch videos and add our own commentary to the content we ingest.

Take nytimes.com, for example — the front page is embedded with headlines that continually update, slide shows, user comments, links to other sources, and rich video and documentary-style news reporting.

The limitations of the Kindle don’t offer any of these new storytelling methods, and the device will suffer accordingly. I’m not suggesting we add videos to our books, but I do believe a device that doesn’t offer multiple types of content can reach only a small, segmented market.

The Kindle’s technology isn’t evolving fast enough.
