The iPad tablet computer was announced today by Apple. Basically, it’s a version of the iPod Touch with a screen the size of a standard piece of paper. The detractors already discount such a device, sayin it’s just another toy frim Apple. But as a person laying in the bed typing this entry out on an iPod Touch, I think they may not yet see the true value of the concept.
Personally, I’m excited to see what might happen with digital comics on such a device. There is already a couple apps for doing comics iTunes Store style on the iPod and they would only look better on a larger screen. I’m not sure what happened with the Longbox application that was mentioned months ago at Heroes, but there I’m sure someone will jump on this opportunity.
