IPad vs. Newspaper, Fly-Swatting Edition

/http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/10/fly-swatting-the-ipad-versus-the-newspaper/






Summary : This news is talking about the application on iPad. It also attached the funny "Newsday" commercial, It's a man enjoying his Newsday app on iPad in the kitchen and he got distracted by a fly so then he swap that fly by his iPad !! The main idea of this commercial is about this app on iPad is better than newspaper all kinds of way except one way. Newsday made this app for reach the costumers that use iPad.


Personal Perspective : I think this is a good way for Newsday to reach people to read their newspaper because nowadays most of the people use iPad or maybe iPhone or maybe iPod touch

 and some of them still want to keep in touch with the world's movement and this way is so easy to do it ! it also good for Apple to make people that doesn't have their product yet buy it !

Vocabulary
counterpart(n.) = something similar
immediacy(n.) = fast, active, rush
distract(vt.) = make you can't concentrate

  1. I am thinking about Ipad, but its a difficult choice between GENTOUCH Espresso Dolce, Samsung Galaxy Tab and Ipad. All tabs have a good technical specifications. Iam not satisfied about screen resolution. I would like to get resolution approximately more than 300 ppi, but all this tablets has max 176 ppi.

  2. I think that is good! But that's too expensive to me.
    And that kind of stuff always quickly to be old stuff. Therefore, you have to change new one frequently. So think about that!!

  4. that's really a good information for me to decide to buy Ipad or not. It seems there are more useful apps in Ipad than an Iphone. I also think apple become a way better than Micosoft. However, there are some apps that apple does worse than Micosoft.

  6. I read this article and I think that it is very interesting. Technology opened the communication worldwide. For example, Internet lets us know in this moment what is happening in Asia while we are in America. The TV, radio and printer newspapers are slower in delivering the news. However, online newspapers are updated constantly and we do not have to wait for next day's issue.
