Erste iPad Testberichte von Journalisten aus den USA

Eine auserwählte Gruppe von Technologiejournalisten in den USA durfte das neue iPad von Apple schon testen. Ihre Testberichte sind heute erschienen. Bei der Mehrheit von ihnen ist das iPad gut angekommen. Hier Ihre Urteile und Links zu den Artikeln von den Kollegen.

 Wall Street Journal, Walter S. Mossberg

"Laptop Killer? Pretty Close"

"After spending hours and hours with it, I believe this beautiful new touch-screen device from Apple has the potential to change portable computing profoundly, and to challenge the primacy of the laptop. It could even help, eventually, to propel the finger-driven, multitouch user interface ahead of the mouse-driven interface that has prevailed for decades."

 

USA Today, Ed Baig

"Verdict is in on Apple iPad: It's a winner"

"The first iPad is a winner. It stacks up as a formidable electronic-reader rival forAmazon's Kindle. It gives portable game machines from Nintendo and Sony a run for their money. At the very least, the iPad will likely drum up mass-market interest in tablet computing in ways that longtime tablet visionary and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates could only dream of."

 

Chicago Sun-Times, Andy Ihnatko

"iPad is pure innovation - one of best computers ever"

"Its not a replacement for my notebook, mind you. It feels more as if the iPad is filling a gap thats existed for quite some time"

"In fact, after a week with the iPad, Im suddenly wondering if any other company is as committed to invention as Apple."

 

Houston Chronicle, Bob LeVitus

"Dr. Mac: Apple's iPad is better than expected"

"It's an entirely new category of mobile device." 

"Speaking of my wife, prior to our iPad's arrival she said she didn't understand why anyone would want or need an iPad. Now she just keeps saying, 'No, you can't have it back.'"

 

BoingBoing, Xeni Jardin

"iPad is touch of genius"

"It strikes you when you first touch an iPad. The form just feels good, not too lightweight or heavy, nor too thin or thick. It's sensual."

"It makes science feel like magic in your hands."

 

PC Magazine, Tim Gideon

Apple iPad

"When you combine basic-but-essential work tools with iWork, an improved browser, e-mail, iPod, and photo applications, a well-executed e-Book platform with iBooks, and throw in thousands of downloadable apps and games, and package it all in a gorgeous, slim slate with a beautiful 9.7-inch touch screen, you have yourself a winner."

 

New York Times, David Pogue

"Reviews: Love It or Not? Looking at iPad From 2 Angles"

"The iPad is so fast and light, the multitouch screen so bright and responsive, the software so easy to navigate, that it really does qualify as a new category of gadget."
