Many people have asked me why do I think the IPhone and Ipad are doomed . Well 2 words come to mind , Steve Jobs . The next logical question is why does Stevie boy hate Adobe . Well that is easy to explain .

   Back in the 80’s and through most of the 90’s Apple was the leading artistic design computer system . Most graphic artist and audio recording studios used Mac , it was just a better platform for handling that type of media . PC was more of a business machine for the first 20 years . Much of the primary software was not even available in the PC versions . Fast forward to around the early 2000’s and by now PC’s were faster , processed information better and the gap was narrowing . Software manufactures like Adobe saw that more plug ins for the software were being written for PC based platforms instead of the old guard the Apple Mac .

   Today , studios are switching to the PC versions of the software like HD Protools because of the I7 Intel processor and the ability to have 24gigs of ram or more with the new PC 64bit platform . The majority of plug ins being written for these software companies are pc based and Mac is a secondary company in the world of media arts .

   One thing has proven true in the tech field , either keep innovating or get push aside . Ask yourself this , why would Apple run Intel chips and allow windows on their machines if it wasn’t a better platform . Would Chevy ever put a Nissan engine in a Corvette?

   The Iphone and Ipad are already outdated . The Ipad has no usb ports and if you want to load music you need his software like Itunes ….which is nuts . Also if you are a developer of those apps that Apple is so proud of , read the fine print about 3^rd party software .

   Neofonie is a small German company of 180 employees . They are coming out with the WePad . This has usb ports and you can just load your music right in without proprietary software . It also uses the same operating system as the Google phone , Android which means that it will use the Adobe Flash Player . While this more than likely will not doom the Ipad , it will the first nick in the armor along with Google Phone , Blackberry and others that are still moving forward and giving the consumers what they want .
