IPad! Mexico waits you…

The iPad has been introduced on the USA market since the 3 April (for the Wi-Fi version). The first month 1 million of iPad has been sold! I think it’s totally amazing! Apple isn’t the first creator of tablets but it’s the more important success (until the waking up of the competition…?).

One question: “When the iPad will arrive in Mexico?” No official date, has been given yet… But the famous tablet is attended for the end of the month… Telcel is the exclusive provider in Mexico and the group said anything, for the moment, about the launching... I think it’s a good strategy to create the buzz but it’s very hard for the fan’s nerves! Will the iPad be the same success in Mexico as the rest of the world? You will know it soon…

To wait you can read an article about the new phenomenon of Apple…

Why the people use the iPad?

The tablet computer is neither a Smartphone nor a laptop… but it’s a little of the two… His particular size and weight are adapted for movies, music, books, games, e-mail access…

Where can you buy the tablet?

The main target is of course the early adopters or the “geeks”… They are the first to grad for the new product. There is also a lot of people who are buying the iPad for the curiosity, these people which are often more than 45 years old are mainly looking for the simplicity of the Platform.

What applications?

The iPad comes with several applications, including Safari, Mail, Photos, Video, YouTube, iPod, iTunes, App Store, iBooks, Maps, Notes… Several are improved versions of applications developed for the iPhone.
The App Store system for the iPad is actually the same that the one uses for the iPhone. The applications for iPad could be downloaded on the tablet via the platform. For the developer it’s always the system 70% (developer) - 30% (platform) already use for the Smartphones app.

The iPad is already ahead of the iPhone on the App Store… In 2008, the iPhone and iPod have attained 10 000 applications in only 5 months. And actually, the Apple’s tablet is on the same level only 2 months nafter the US launching. Of course, the majority are just iPhone’s applications adapt for iPad but it’s still impressive. You can see also that you find a few more paying application for the iPad than for the iPhone…
