C'猫 stata molta eccitazione intorno alla presentazione dell'iPad da parte della Apple.
Il prodotto finale risulta una specie di "iPhone pi霉 grosso", con funzionalit脿 simili al Kindle di Amazon, che ovviamente consta circa 200 dollari di meno.
E allora dove sta la novit脿, la geniale lungimiranza di Steve Jobs?
In realt脿 l'iPad 猫 un passo avanti nel tentativo di creare un ecosistema che faccia terra bruciata dei concorrenti, come gi脿 猫 successo per l'iPhone ("il solito cellulare touch..."ricordate?): vediamo perch茅.
