It’s an iPad world

Apple is at it again. The cogs are forever turning in the Apple company. They’re finding ways to create and repackage products that already exist. They’ve already done this once, years back with the original iPod. If you remember correctly they original iPod was taken off shelves after the production of the Nano and iPod Touch. Then a few months later the original iPod was back with a fancy new name… No longer was the iPod. It was not the iPod Classic.

Same product, slightly different name.

Now, they’re at it again. The new potential victim? The iPad. There is now a new mini iPad in the works to accompany the release of the iPad 3. This isn’t a shock, but it does seem… Unnecessary. It’s like Apple married the iPod Touch and the iPad to make this awkwardly sized iPad Touch hybrid.

But it’s cheaper! Apparently weighing in at $249 – $299, this seems to be quite a steal for an iPad. It’s not bad. I hold onto my stance that it is a bit unnecessary. But who am I to complain? I’ll sit here in my dorm, crying because I still can’t afford one.
