iPad to launch in US next month
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 8 March 2010
Apple’s previously reported tablet computer the iPad will go on sale in the US on 3 Apr. A UK launch is expected later the same month, though non-US release dates and pricing are yet to be confirmed.
As previously rambled, it remains to be seen if the iPad can kick start the long established tablet computer market by offering an internet and entertainment-based device that benefits from a bigger screen than the iPhone and iPod touch. Though some reckon it will struggle to find an audience, given it is less portable than a mobile, and less capable than a laptop. But this is Apple, so never say never.
As also previously commented, so far the iPad offers more potential for newspaper and book publishers than the music industry, though some music-based app makers might find a use for the bigger screen somewhere along the line.
