Re: Adaptation

I pretty much agree with Mr Sandwich on his Big Points on why the iPad is okay as it stands today. However, the lack of a camera still niggles at me*, as that is part of the three years of maturity the iPhone has to show for itself. But Apple didn’t just forget to add one. It’s even rumoured that there’s a place for a camera in the existing iPad case design. And hey, Apple may even add one by the time this thing comes to market. It’s not as though it would be cutting into their profits much, given the reported margin they’re going to make on these.

But why would I want a camera? Off the top of my head, it would be “great” to be sitting on my couch and talking to my grandma via the iSight cameras on our iPads via Skype. And it’s not as though they haven’t had time to develop an iPad Photobooth app, right? (Though it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility).

I was going to say that perhaps they’re just focusing on content consumption first up (watching video’s, listening to music, reading books, the paper) but then they did demo their iPad-specific iWork suite for the iPad…

Could it be that the reason they would leave out a camera on purpose is to simply reduce what can be done with the iPad? Could it be a “Jobsian” move? So that they could focus more acutely on a few key things initially… iWork, iBookstore, iPad apps. Just like the iPhone took a few “evolutionary steps” before it got all its bells and whistles… Because you know what happens when you give people more than one button on a mouse to click… That’s right! The population becomes confused and restless. “Which button do I press!?! Arghh! My eyes!!”

Despite my obvious sarcasm, I’ll probably end up buying an iPad, perhaps just out of (fanboy) curiosity, and so I can say to my Grandchildren, “Yep! I was there in the thick of it - when the next computing platform was popularised.” I want to experience why Mr Jobs thinks to have one of these is great.

*I mean the lack of a camera is not a deal-breaker for me, as the iPad isn’t exactly going to be suited to taking those emo MySpace photo’s of oneself in the bedroom, nor would it be practical to use an iSight camera to take photo’s of other people. But it would be nice to have a camera on the back of the thing, to take photo’s of other people. It just might feel a bit goofy to do so; holding up a picture frame sized device whilst everyone gets into frame and ohh!… A pun to finish off with. How delightful. The iPad would probably be as practical a camera as it would a phone.

My thoughts - like this product - are subject to change. Just like Adams.

UPDATE: Ugh - I’m starting to have fanboy guilt because I questioned our leader and what he wants me to do with his technology to make my life better. God I hate having an opinion. That’s possibly wrong. Think I’ll just stick to writing on my bedroom wall. Using my faeces. At least poo washes away easily. Unlike a tarnished reputation.
