In the history of computing (not just) a product never before had so much talk of whether the iPad, both before and especially after the commercial launch.
groped Needless to sum up the rivers of words already written and spoken, iPad fame transcends the object itself and is motivated not so much on what is and what it does, but what could do, to what Steve Jobs has imagined .
It is unclear why that recent Apple products, particularly from the iPod on, are the result of his talent often visionary and sometimes villain, which recognizes the first of other brilliant ideas and appropriates it without ceremony, turning often epochal successes.
But back iPad.
Among the many things that were said, the most significant is that it could become iPad for books and videos that the iPod was for music, or take off the eBook market is in strong growth but has not yet reached significant volumes.
iPad is therefore not simply a tablet PC more attractive and functional, it is another thing.
certainly is not just an eBook reader as Amazon Kindle and even a media player, the iPad wants to redraw the characteristics of the market ' publishing and distribution of digital content, by introducing a profitable business model where chaos now reigns (and especially piracy).
iPad is a computer product, is a sales channel.
This explains the product features of the closed Apple device, this is not a computer "general purpose" with an intuitive interface but rather a means to acquire content from media companies.
Warning: buy, do not share.
from the media company, not between individuals.
iPad enables a centralized business model is completely controlled by Apple and its trading partners (those media companies that have until now tried to fight piracy, their nemesis, without never do that) leaving users to iPad few degrees of freedom in addition to "buy" and "laws" or "look".
But really, just that the liberal Steve Jobs comes up with a "spell" that turns its affectionate Customers in "flocks" to be clipped by the very corporations not really very funny entertainment, oibò!
may seem strange but remember that Jobs, after the acquisition of Pixar, is the largest shareholder of Disney , and we can imagine who cares about the company's accounts, as well as Apple.
In any case it must be said that a legal mechanism for the distribution of content must still be devised.
A centralized system may not like, give the idea of \u200b\u200bgoing back in time with respect to the mechanisms of the P2P network and anarchists, but it must be admitted that the status quo is untenable, however, long- move would lead to the collapse of the system, or drastic measures and unfair as the surcharge on memory devices ao on network .
