Appeal of iPad 2 Is a Matter of Emotions
By David Pogue
Toward the beginning of my blog I did a post about the anticipation of the new iPad 2. In this article by the New York Times it covers the different reactions of people toward this new product. Some people state that it is "an utter disappointment and abysmal failure" and others states "My god, am I underwhelmed." It might of been all the advertising and excitement of this new product that have people not getting everything that they expected! Despite these mix emotions the Apple Ipad is the fastest-selling gadget in the history of electronics. I think that products like this are meant for people who love technology and feel as if they need to have the next "hottest" item. For example, many people see this product as completely useless and unnecessary since we already have computers and an iPad, but others simply must have it. Could it be all the advertisements of Apple? I believe that Apple has done a great job at their marketing strategies, not only because they have been so successful, but they because they are able to get people to buy a product that seems unnecessary to some. Another marketing strategy that Apple is taking is by placing the new ipad on sale for the same price as the old one. I am excited to see what else Apple has to offer in the future!
