Why the iPad will be a good women's gadget: 5 reasons

101 ipad 2.jpgI don’t know whether the name endears it to women or just makes them think that they didn’t get asked to the marketing team’s focus groups, but it has certainly made it get some female attention, outside the crowd of Apple fangirls.

Why do I think this is going to be a good women’s gadget? Let me give five reasons:

1. This is a sexy gadget. We were a bit non-plussed by the photos, I mean, we’ve seen that design somewhere before (ie on the iPhone, the iPod..) but it is a nice one and feedback from the hands-on confirm that this is a pleasure to hold and use. “Leo Laporte just said that it’s an incredible device when you actually get your hands on it… beautiful, light, incredibly responsive screen.” reports someone on FriendFeed. It’s not just women who like a bit of intuitive tactility, but women do like it.

2. Focus on Books not Gaming: I hold my hands up here, I’m sure many women game more than they read novels, but *in general* lets say more women read books than men, and fewer women play games than men. You can game on the iPad sure, but with a 1ghz chip it’s not going to be a rollercoaster ride. You’d stick to a more powerful computer or console for the big games. The iBook store is a big part of the iPad and magazines and newspapers are doing deals to have iPad-friendly editions loaded onto the device.

3. The iPad won’t fit in your pocket – but it will fit in your handbag. Until men fully adopt the concept of manbags, they’re going to find carrying the iPad around to be a bit of a hassle. For the average woman, it can just replace the 2 books and 1 magazine that they usually carry around, all the time. Interviewed on CrunchTV last night, MG Siegler said the first accessory he wanted for his iPad was iPants (pants in the American sense ie trousers). Until someone invents trousers with an iPad pocket (yes they’ll look dodgy) men are going to find this less easy to carry around.

4.This has a lot of lifestyle gadgets on board: the calendar looks great. That’s the sort of thing that’s going to be pretty helpful and intuitive to use. This means I won’t have to lug a diary across town every morning.

5. Apps, this is going to be an app-centric device. Speaking generally I think women really apps, they like to be able to customise devices – the software as much as the case. I think that’s what has made the iPhone a big hit among women and the iPad will have the same impact.

  • Do you know your laptop battery?When given this question to any user of the laptops batteries,they will get confused. This happens to me once when someone asks me about my dell battery.As you can see, before replacing the Hp Compaq battery Acer battery Apple battery IBM battery Asus battery Lenovo battery Samsung battery Sony battery and Toshiba battery,it is very important to know a little about the field again in the first place. There are several types of Canada laptop batteries that I will share in this post. The types of replacement laptop batteries: 1. Alkaline – This is a common batteries for laptop around, but only a few use this kind and the ruling on alkaline Dell Inspiron 6400 Battery,Dell 1520 battery or Dell 1525 battery will not be rechargeable. You have to shoot once to deflate. 2. Lead Acid – One of the most common use. It is durable, resistant and rechargeable, but unfortunately the Dell Latitude D800 Battery is heavy and full of lead: P. 3. Lithium-Ion – The type of HP Pavilion DV4 Battery or HP HSTNN-DB72 battery that you want to have for your laptop. The quick-charge effect is good for users moving (no need to wait a while for the battery is fully charged.) It is also environmentally friendly as well. 4. Nickel Cadmium – Ni-Cd is one of the oldest types and improved performance of rechargeable acer aspire 5520 series battery, but has a serious problem. After prolonged use (several years),acer aspire 5520G battery will be affected by the dreaded memory effect. This means that the use of battery life deteriorates over time. 5. Nickel Metal Hydride – Ni-MH is considered the successor to the Ni-Cd batteries such as acer aspire 5100 battery and acer aspire one battery, but unfortunately, the dreaded memory effect is as bad as well. However, comparison of the Ni-Cd and NiMH batteries, it lasts longer compared to its predecessor. The chances of using lithium-ion apple A1280 battery is 99% (that is if you are using the new breed of laptops). Just check the abbreviation says Lion or Li-Ion batteries in apple A1281 battery label. There are still some laptops that use Ni-MH batteries these days and you may want to check with the manufacturer if you can make an update of Ni-MH Li-Ion. The unauthorized use of Dell latitude D600 battery could lead to dire consequence. so do be very careful about this. If you have a larger budget you might want to check the SMART acer BATBL50L6 battery. It has a power management circuit and also tells the user which is the current condition of the BATBL50L6 replacement battery.

  • Many thanks, I have recently been seeking out information about this topic for ages and yours is the ideal I have uncovered so far.

  • no-one is talking about the weaker sex here, no-one is saying anything close to “women should stay in the kitchen/clean the house”

  • Yeah, implying that women carry purses and read books is both wrong and offensive. Don’t be an idiot.
    I must say, however, that after reading the title I almost expected it to tell me the iPad would give me cooking tips and tell me how to please my husband.

  • This article is offensive and disgusting. Thanks for buying into, and perpetuating, obnoxious stereotypes, so that women like myself can spend another few years fighting against them.

  • I have had my iPhone 10 days and I love it – it could very easily replace my Husband in fact. Do I feel the need to upgrade to a iPad – not so much; I lose the phone function – and its the only plus I can see – get a larger typing area. My iphone does everything at the moment – and its a phone (needless to say I mostly text and e-mail), calendar, music player and e-book, records voice, text and keeps me entertained – even provides neck massages (cough). Will the ipad take off – undoubtedly; but I will wait for the 3rd or 4th Gen before buying.
