The iPad is finally reaching our shores on Friday in a second round of international launch as well as Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands and Singapore.
is it worth getting one? Absolutely, beyond the initial rush on getting your hands on a cult product, you will find that the iPad is a wonderful business tool as well as sexy device.
I got my iPad from Houston, TX while on a business trip and it has drastically changed the way I work. I am now carrying all my presentations in either iBooks or Keynote and am able to organise meetings on the fly and share my company’s value proposition over a coffee table, on a plane or even in the streets. With 3G connectivity, the iPad will also enable you to access your hosted product demos and is guaranteed to make a big impact on your audience.
The good news is that you don’t need to buy one, you can win one! Just purchase a copy of World Flights for iPhone and send the iTunes receipt to iPadWF@3dot5.net, every time the iTunes download count reaches a multiple of 10,000, I will draw the lucky winner’s amongst the received receipts and give away an iPad.
Also, Apple announced the iPhone 4 to be released in NZ on Friday 30 July, a pretty good end of July for us in the land of the long white cloud
