The new iPad is thicker and heavier

I am still the lucky owner of the first generation iPad. It’s a great device and the only think that is kinda annoying is the weight. It is too heavy to hold in one hand reading stuff over time. Even if my current iPad is the 3G one (730g), I had that feeling with the wifi only device too (which I gave away). And that device was 680 g heavy….the new iPad is 662 g (4g).

So, not going to buy the new iPad, I think. I want a lighter and thiner thing. I am sure they will be around soon…or should I buy an iPad2 while they are still around?

Apps on the iPad

I have said before that I believe 2010 will be the year of maintenance cost for iPhone apps. The iPad is the manifestation of this. Sure, an iPhone app can run on the iPad, but you really need to create an iPad version of the app to get the most out of it.

With the App Store effectively splintered across the iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad "platforms," I’m not sure the device offers enough incentive to gamers to opt for an "iPad-enhanced" version. Chris Grant (from Joystiq)

Fragmentation is coming in the Apple camp as well, as we know it from mobile web, J2ME, Symbian and Android.

My bet is still on the Web; mobile or not.

iPad fun

“Is it that time of the month again?”

“It sounds like a sanitary napkin.”

“Will the next version have wings?”
