Musical Experience on the iPad
© techshout.com
We have no intention of buying what we see as neither a fully-fledged laptop or a portable media player, but we wondered whether Apple had made any headway in embracing a more open experience of music with their iPad. We took a look.
Along with the same inevitable problems borne out of a stubborn Gates-ian desire to dominate the market to the point where there is no competition left (such as an annoying lack of Flash and a need to download apps for basic elements like a clock), the one thing that stands out is the lack of a media player except iTunes. For this reason we would like to ask you readers out there if any downloadable alternatives have been viable on your iPad, or have they just taken up room or slowed the whole thing down? Is QuickTime an option? Yet again, with their new overblown and oversized iPod Touch, Apple seem to be placing importance on the ability to sync your iPod up with the iPad. Apparently the speakers are of surprisingly good quality when listening to music and watching videos, and listening through headphones beats the quality of most laptops out there, but we question whether too many will be buying the iPad to enjoy music. Let us know what you think.
Next week we'll be taking a look at the new iPhone. Exciting!…
