Tricky. In terms of actual use, I don&#8217;t have much need for this first version. I already have an iPhone, MacBookPro and a MacPro Tower. I&#8217;m also trying to resist buying another first generation Apple product and wait for the second.\u00a0 But of course, as an interaction designer, I&#8217;ll want to test it and explore the interactions for future projects. I&#8217;m also excited to see what design applications are adapted for iPad. OmniGroup has said that they&#8217;ll be making their products, including OmniGraffle, available as an app. So, we&#8217;ll see ;)<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: Craig Villamor and Luke Wroblewski extracted 8 minutes of video about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lukew.com\/ff\/entry.asp?991\">new multi-touch interactions on the iPad<\/a> that were shown of during Apple&#8217;s unveiling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case you didn&#8217;t hear, the much-anticipated Apple iPad was announced today.\u00a0 Some notable points for me: New 1GHz Apple A4 processor chip Uses iPhone 3.0 OS It&#8217;s 9.7&#8243; with a 1024&#215;768 resolution Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating Comes with 16GB, 32 or 64GB flash drive Choice between Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi and 3G Starts at $499 and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2744,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[210,386,128,779,763],"class_list":["post-2743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bookmarks","tag-apple","tag-computer","tag-interactiondesign","tag-ipad","tag-tablet"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/emilychang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/emilychang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/emilychang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emilychang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emilychang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/emilychang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2743\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emilychang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/emilychang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emilychang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emilychang.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
