Why has iPad created such a big buzz?
Every news website or blog I have visited today has articles related to the iPad which will be launched in the United States this Saturday. Why has the iPad created such a big buzz and how will it affect your business? To understand the impact of the iPad it’s important to observe the trend that the information technology industry is heading towards; furthermore, it is important to analyze the behavior of the Net Generation (generation Y).
The IT industry is moving towards cloud computing and thin client applications. Many big players in this field such as SAP are working towards creating web-based equivalents for their server based systems. There is also a big growth in the mobile software development as companies are investing in Smartphone accessible Information Systems for their employees.
For the consumer market, it’s all about Smartphones and the various apps available for the leading platforms. Consumers, in particular the younger Net Generation, love to stay connected with friends through social media tools (Facebook, Twitter, Blogs…). Even in their daily jobs, they use social media tools to connect to the world to find the information they need to perform their daily tasks.
Going back to the iPad, knowing that IT industry as a whole is moving towards mobile/cloud-computing, and consumers are becoming more and more addicted to social media, the iPad is well positioned since it allows for developers to create applications that consumers, businesses, and educational institutions will greatly benefit from. For users, the iPad is extremely powerful since it allows them to do what they like while holding the internet in their hands.
In conclusion, it is very important to notice these trends and keep your company up to date to take advantage of the new market opportunities.
Happy Easter Long Weekend!

A good iPad application can be an excellent way to improve your company’s brand awareness because of the device’s novelty and innovation. Furthermore, the iPad’s new features provide the opportunity to release new or improved consumer and business apps.
Most iPad applications can be developed in about a month and approved into the App Store in two weeks. The App Store allows developers to easily market and distribute their applications. It has already exceeded 3 billion downloads worldwide.
