apple ipad
after months of speculation apple finally released, the ipad, their entry in the e-reader market. while
device does allow users to read ebooks, it is also a fully operational device that can surf the web, play
music and video and even operates specialized applications like the iphone. the new device will feature
wifi connectivity with a 3g option. it will have a 9.7 inch screen that plays high definition video and has
multi-touch capability. along with the release of the device, apple has announced their new application
ibooks and an online store for books much like the itunes store for music. they plan to work with the
world’s major publishers to offer digital books and publications.

The beauty of the book — much like the first image of this post — is that it presents to you the present (what you are reading), the past (what you have just read), and the future (that which you are about to read) all in your open hands.
Plus, do I really have to add that there will never be a video equivalent of the feel and excitement (let alone the glorious smell) of that next page (newspaper or book).
p.s. And, if your even going try to replace my baby's board books, at least wrap that Pad in a chewable rubber frame.
