APPLE Inc is NUMBER ONE in Mobile Devices- and MORE! Check Out The New iPad®!
Steve Jobs is not just our vote for man of the year in 2009 but the man of the decade!
The Wallstreet Journal made a statement, "The last time there was this much excitement about a tablet, it was the ten commandments."
In 1991, Apple invented the first laptop. It was priced at $6,500 and weighed 15.8 pounds! Here is a photo of it, courtesy of BusinessWeek:
In 2007, Apple reinvented the phone with the Iphone®.
Apple's think tank was doing research to figure out if there was anything in the middle that was needed in the marketplace between the Iphone® and the Macbookpro®- the laptop. Is there a product that can be in the middle of the laptop and the smartphone?
Before we check out the new iPad®- which I am already a fan of and put it on my birthday with list and handed that list to Nestor yesterday- let's go over some of the most amazing stats regarding Apple:
- Apple started selling iPods® in 2001 and just a few days ago they sold the 250,000,000th IPod! 250 million iPods®! I know we were among those as we bought and iPod® touch for our 7 year old for Christmas.
- Apple opened the 284th store. It was in New York City. The photo of the store here is credited to Apple. This is also the 4th store in New York! The new store was packed on opening day!
- Apple celebrated 50,000,000 visitors to the Apple stores in ONE QUARTER! I can tell you that when the rest of the mall in Wellington Florida is dead- the Apple store is buzzing with people. There is never a time during the day where our Apple store is not full of visitors!
- There are 140,0000 APPS in the Apple App Online Store.
- Apple started their App store 18 months ago and last month 3 BILLION Apps had been downloaded from the Apple App store!
- Steve Jobs started Apple in 1976 and in 2010 the first quarter stands at 15.6 BILLION DOLLARS! Even Steve could not believe this figure!
- Apple is now an OVER 50 BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY!!!!!
- Apples' number one seller is their Ipod®, then iPhones®, then Mac® laptops.
- Apple is the number ONE company in Mobile devices!
- Apple Revenue is the largest in the ENTIRE WORLD in regards to mobile devices.
- Apple's Revenue is more than Sony! More than Samsung! And EVEN MORE THAN NOKIA!!!!! Now that really makes an impression!
After all these out of the world successes their customer service, their tech support and their focus on the consumer is second to none! They are number one in that area as far as we are concerned.
We can call the tech department by setting up a call on line and our phone rings within seconds of us saying we need a question answered!
Check out the video here of the keynote where Steve Jobs introduces the new iPad®.
Now, let's look at this dream iPad®!
I love it already! It is NOT a Netbook. You can watch the keynote address to find out the reasons it is NOT a Netbook. Steve explains it better than I can.
The new iPad® is a browsing dream. At only 1.5 pounds and 1/2 inch thin-it is a multi touch powerhouse.
The iPad® has a 9.7" display, 1 G Apple A4 Chip and you can upgrade to 64 GB and also upgrade to 3G. It comes with WIFI. Photos courtesy of Apple Inc.
One of the best features is the battery! Apple had figured out a way in this lighweight iPad® to get 10 hours of battery time. That means, as Steve Jobs says, You can get on a plane in San Francisco, fly to Tokyo and watch movies on your iPad® all the way there on one battery charge. That is amazing!
What I love about the iPad® is that you can browse the web in full screen without scrolling and comes with an almost full size keyboard! That is something I really want! My fingers have a hard time on the iPhone® and I have to have my glasses on the entire time. With the larger keyboard I won't have to pull out my glasses as often.
While a lot of the bloggers critiquing the Apple IPAD say that they think it is really a sit on the couch or easy chair type of home browser and large iPod®, I disagree.
When I saw how iWork® can be used with the iPad- the possibilities are endless in business user applications. It works great wtih Keynote®.
You can download and use the Apple Apps on the iPad®. App developers are busy tweaking their apps to work on this new size screen and many others are creating new Apps that will be specific for the iPad®.
iPhoto® is incredible on the iPad®. You can scroll through your images with just your finger. The iPhoto® features on the iPad® make this device a great tool for real estate agents.
The other applications that make this a dream for real estate agents is Keynote where you can do presentations, YouTube in HD and the Map application powered by Google.
I can't wait to get my hands on a new iPad®!
