The iPad grade chart graphic above is from Six Colors’ annual Apple Report Card. It’s unfortunate because I really love my iPad. It’s not my MacBook Pro and it’s not my phone. As cheesy as this sounds, it’s exactly what Jobs said back in 2010 when he commented that it sits right between those other two devices. It is my go-to device for catching up on news and blogging at the coffee shop.
An example of the feedback:
Michael E. Cohen wrote: “The hardware is good, but Apple is having trouble figuring out what the hardware is for, resulting in a weird blend of the traditional iPad single-tasking and multitasking, resulting in a confusing user experience.”
I can’t say I disagree with that. At the same time, I just really hope this turns around.
