Is The iPad Just A Giant Version Of The iPhone?

Long time, no post :( But I am back and kickin’! So todays topic is all about Apple’s tablet computer, the newly annouced iPad.

I am going to be honest, I do not see that much difference among this and the iPhone/iPod Touch. It looks like a giant version of it and it does not seem to offer all that much more. Really, could not they offer something more to it or not? Or change the name?

I guess though, maybe if they named it something like the iPod or iPhone then it would have the same success?

Personally though, I just do not see it catching on. Tablet computers have been out for a long time and have yet to over take desktops/notebooks/netbooks. I think the hype will fade out pretty soon, and with them being so late in the game it will be a huge loss for them.

Tell me, what do you think about the iPad? Do you think it will be successful?

Mp3 Player Issues(Creative Labs Zen Stone Plus)

Okay, today is more of a real tech post and a question for my readers. Back in 2007(late, I know) I got my first mp3 player. Creative Stone Plus, to be exact. I love it, though the battery charge doesn’t last long. Which sucks for me, but I still use it.

However, since last month my battery will not charge fully. So I think my battery is dying on me. Now, I have no idea what it will cost to send it in to get it replaced and for them to ship it back. I guess I should look into it, however I dread to know how much it will cost.

So my question is, should I try to get the battery replaced or should I buy a better mp3 player thats battery lasts longer(I am think iPod, since my sister has one and the battery is still good)? I even posted something about on twitter, though I do not think creative labs has a twitter account nor will they find my post…..

Thanks in advance.
