The Apple iPad and the Future of Mobile Technology

The Apple iPad may very well launch us into a new era of online entertainment, news, and shopping. While many say that the iPad is perhaps a large version of the iPod Touch, there is no denying that many people are excited for the release. Much of this excitement is not without reason as the Apple iPad boasts online capability, video playback, and iBooks, just to name a few. Perhaps the most exciting feature, according to Apple, is the device is ready to go out of the box.  

Many experts are excited declaring the iPad will help pave the way for mobile devices in 2010. However, the release is not coming without criticism. Among the most popular is the lack of compatibility with Adobe Flash, no TV subscription service, and even its name.

Even with its controversy, the iPad has generated a substantial amount of positive buzz. Many businesses are already designing accessories and developing apps. Some of the most anticipated accessories are iPad cases or skins that allow protection and decoration. Many of the popular iPhone case manufacturers will be release iPad cases soon. There are also news and media apps such as the New York Times application.

The Apple iPad boasts a $499 price tag so it will be interesting to watch initial sales of the iPad. Additionally, the iPad is going head to head with the Kindle so expect to see some tough competition and select incentives.

The iPad is coming and it will shoot mobile technology forward spawning clones and add-ons such as iPad cases.
