Poll: Apple’s new iPad. A VizThinker’s Dream or Just Another Device?

Needless to say, there’s been a whole load of buzz about the “tablet” device that Apple was expected to announce today – and a little earlier today Steve Jobs took the wraps off their latest project called the iPad. I know a lot of people, myself included, had been hoping this new device would be a VizThinker’s dream device, a multi-touch tablet that was actually lightweight, portable and (for many of you) a Mac.

Twitter Reactions

A few of the tweets that caught my eye from VizThinkers during the announcement:

Share Your Thoughts!

So did they succeed? What works? What’s missing? Any dealbreakers for you?

We’d love to hear your thoughts… and you can do it in a few ways.

First, just answer the poll below then, join the discussion in the comments, or simply tweet your reaction and tag it w/#ipad & #vizthink so we can all follow along!

    I agree with one of the tweets. Looks like it's only an output device. For visual thinkers, it also would need to have drawing input capabilities. I was hoping it would have a Wacom-like functionality. That would mean a pen, but that''s what it needs to get me interested in it for anything other than an entertainment device

    Yeah, I have to agree… I was really hoping this would be more at the tablet 'computer' end of the spectrum rather than a giant cell phone. I think it'll be interesting to see what comes out with it over the next iteration or two – but if people are limited to the iPhone version of Sketchbook Pro or unable to use things like ArtRage it's use is going to be pretty limited for those of us that like to draw.

    Can never be a drawing device since only warm touch makes the display respond. This is a total disappointment to me as a designer who was looking for a drawing/writing pad NOT a newspaper.
