iPad Pro

What is it: A new iPad. Bigger than the previous ones. Faster, with more processing power than the previous ones

What should we be excited about ?: If your current iPad cant run garageband well, or you are struggling to do graphic designing, this might be a good solution. For the average person (like me), this is just thinner, faster, lighter.

Bottomline:

Here's my lazy summary (shamelessly copied from an article I saw on the verge)

Important to remember that the comic below was made in July 2012. Yup, you read that right. In 2012.

Tech Reviews

My wife is my number 1 fan. And I am deeply grateful for that. She is also very good at predicting future trends. So, she might be on to something here. I was recently browsing tech forums and mentioned to her how jaded I was after reading pages of tech information on cellphones/laptops only to realize that the bottom line is thinner/faster/lighter/brighter. Where's the X-factor anymore ? Where's the feature that distinguishes you from others ? Why is it now insanely complicated (and not intuitive) to learn new features on phones or computers or tablets ? I am sure I am not using my phone to its full capability and its mainly because I dont have time to learn about non intuitive finger taps and what they can do for me. Her suggestion was to write about it. Not the whole trend. Not a lot of words. But focus on each new product. And provide the gist of it. Should we be excited ? Or is it just an incremental improvement. What catches my eye ?

  I am going to take her suggestion and start pounding these out when I get a chance. Quick reviews. Just the bottom line.
