Nerds everywhere are weeping: the Apple iPad has been delayed.
A lot of talk has been exchanged on the internet of the value of the iPod, the gigantic iPhone that’ll be unable to deal with Flash, and multitasking apps. Whether or not it’ll change the publishing industry. Whether or not the device is, as Apple claims, magical. That’s the one thing that gets to me about this whole hoo-hah about the iPad. Is, that on Apple’s Frontpage, they describe the device as magical.
What sort of magic are they talking about? Are they talking about the kind where you’re high enough to think that whatever the hell is happening is magic? Or is the kind where you don’t know how things work, so you attribute them to being magical, like my Amish friends do every time I force them to turn on televisions and the like? What are you trying to prove, Apple?
The device was supposed to go into production into late march. But Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek said this week, Apple will have to delay or limit the launch because of an unspecified production problem.
The iPad is estimated to sell 1.2 million units during the 2010 fiscal year. The first batch will connect to Wi-Fi, the second run will be able to connect to 3G networks. So you can look at websites like this, in your underwear, in the middle of the desert.
