1) In your opinion how important is it for mobile applications and devices to both look good and function properly? Comment on both the attractiveness of the software and the hardware.
In my opinion it is important for mobile applications and devices to both look good but also function properly. If it doesn’t look good then it won’t appeal to me or the target audience but if it doesn’t function properly then people will not use it and spread posts and reviews about how good the product is.

2) Who designed the iPad? Was it an individual or team? In your opinion, do people use this device because it looks good or because it functions well? Or does it do both?
The Apple inc team designed and developed the iPad. I honestly don’t know if people use this device because it looks good or because it functions well. I do like the sleekness of the ipad but over all I love the look of laptops even to computers. I am more used to the look, feel and functionality of the laptops and I can easily find my way around and use a laptop much better then I can use a desktop.

3) How has the iPad changed the way some businesses function? Can you find examples of where businesses have implemented the iPad into their day-to-day activities?
photographers such as wedding photographers take an ipad with their photos uploaded onto it to show clients that they meet out of the office what work they do and the quality of their work. Which I suppose is an improvement then taking a thick heavy folder with all your pictures with you everywhere.

4) Overall, what other major flaws of this type of technology? Can you think of anyways in the future that this hardware will be improved to the point where it will compete with desktop and laptop computers?
-limited capacity of harddrive space
-cant personally modify the ipad
-compatibility problems

5) How do you think the iPad could help your day-to-day workflow? Are the answers straightforward? Is it more a case of combining this technology with others that already exist?
on the go I think it would be ok to use and would help because you can’t exactly take a desktop or a laptop everywhere. Though for in office or home use I would still use a laptop or a desktop.

6) Consider the following–has the iPad shaped the way we do business? Or has business and technology shaped the way Apple developed the iPad?
No, the ipad isn’t based on other peoples software or specs. It is based on apples design and technology. All the applications are based on apples operating system.

7) Is the iPad and tablets in general a passing fad? Or do you think this type of technology is here to stay long-term?
I don’t think it is a passing fad. I think doctors will still use this ipad for patients charts and xrays , as well as the photographers using them in out of office meetings

8) Conduct a discussion with the whole class and determine based on the general consensus the pros and cons of tablet-based technology.
9) Many people say that the iPad is an unnecessary piece of hardware caught in limbo between a laptop and mobile phone. Do you think this consensus is accurate. Do you think that your answer could be different in five years time?
I am honestly not sure. And I believe that the technology of the ipad will have developed further in 5 years time
