The excitement about the Apple Tablet
You’d need to be living under a rock (or not be involved in the tech community) in order to avoid the conversations online about the upcoming potential announcement from Apple Inc. about their release of a new product (a tablet computer, apparently).
I asked on Twitter what the relevance of Apple’s tablet was. Several of my friends who responded emphasized the potential for the tablet to revolutionize the way we do computing. I will admit that my iPhone has really increased dramatically my productivity and eased my professional and personal lives. I can even answer questions that my students ask on-the-go.
I do find Apple’s products incredibly expensive and perhaps a tad overpriced. However, I recognize that they have a lot of very powerful features. I just wish their products weren’t out of my budget reach! But, seriously though, I think I want to know exactly what people are looking forward to. I would publish a summary of the tweets that I’ve received in response, but I’m heading out the door for lunch with a friend, so while I’m out, have at it on the comments section!

I can’t wait for tomorrow’s announcement. I’ll wait and see if it’s a game changer like the iPhone or not. Either way it’ll be interesting to see how the tablet competes with those e-readers out there.
