The Radigan Review

I wonder what their mascot will be? bit or byte? “C#” Cougar or “Python” the snake?

So Apple unveiled its tablet computer today.  Called the iPad it turns out that this supposed to be revolutionary tablet computer is really a giant iPod.  Ok that is a little critical but not to far from the truth.  Yes the iPad will function as an e-reader, and the iPods and iPhones won’t do that, also the screen size is giant when compared to it’s smaller “cousins”.  But from what I have seen the functionality will be very similar to the Ipod/iPhone.  This an not a tablet computer. You could say that it is an ultra portable.  Now with all that being said I do think there is a market for this product, do to the fact that it does have a quite large screen, and many usable apps including an e-reader and movie playing capabilities. Also depending on the particular model the iPad will support 3G connectivity for better wireless experiences.  Lets put it this way if i was given one I wouldn’t reject it.

After further reading I have discovered the the iPod and the iPhone to do e-reader functionality.  I appoligize for this, so I guess the only real difference between the iPod/iPhone and iPad are screen size.  Interesting.

Well CES 2010 is over and at least as far a monitors are concerned it looks like the big push is for 3D.  Both TV’s and stand alone computer monitors are quickly adopting this new technology.  My question is why? Also why was it federally mandated that every broadcast in america go high definition by a certain date?  I realize that technology is constantly evolving but this rapid change over is crazy.  It seems like in a year or so if you want to experience everything an entertainment package (be it blu-ray, or video game) has to offer you will need a new 3D monitor of some sort, and they aren’t coming cheap, especially with the economy the way it is now.  OK I guess the High Definition mandated change was ok, but with the industry now putting a de-facto 3D change very quickly after everyone bought HDMI compliant TVs it seems like to much to quick.  Granted standard HDMI TVs will continue to display content, the viewer just won’t be able to completely experience all content, and yes I may strive to be an early apoter of technology so I hear about these products before the average person.  I guess I just wish the industry would just have waited a few years before trying to revolutionize the monitor industy yet again.  At the very least it would have given them more time to beta test the new hardware/software.  Also to accomplish the 3-D effects we will have to go back to 1950′s tech.  That’s right the 3-D glasses are getting polished and sent back out to the consumer.  So not only will you have to buy a new TV, but you will have to wear funky glasses to get the full effect.  I am not saying that I don’t like the idea of  realistist movement being interperted by my brain, far form it I enjoy the idea of bieng fully imersed in an entainment situation,  but I think the industy is moving too quick on this and needs to let consumers get used to the idea of non 3-D high deffinition entertainment, before complicating the market even more with this new addition of the 3-D aspect.
