Apple just sent over their latest product, the iPan, and I’ve gotten to spend a couple of days with it now. Here are my impressions.
It’s all about taste.
Ramen noodles are the lifeblood of my small startup. Their ease of preparation and low, low price make them ideal for bootstrapping. I had perfected my cooking technique and couldn’t be happier with my ramen noodles.
Or so I thought!
With the iPan, Apple have once again introduced a complete game changer. Preparing and eating ramen noodles will never be the same.
Apple’s saucepan brings something to the table that other saucepans just can’t match: Taste. iPan ramen just tastes better. The taste continuum below perfectly represents why Apple products, especially the iPan, are superior.
Not just a better development environment: A complete development environment.
Before, my development shop was plagued with the worst kind of problem: Too many choices.
Now Apple have done even more work to lift that burden from my shoulders. I no longer have to go to the store and pick from several different saucepans, with their erratic problems and glitches. I have the iPan.
In fact, I couldn’t go to the store and pick if I wanted to. Apple have extended the terms of their agreement to include the complete development environment– which now includes our kitchen.
Some companies would be content to just provide an alternative. Apple thankfully mandates our development environment, ensuring a great experience for everyone.
They go that extra distance so I don’t have to.
Apple have also quite cleverly ensured that I will always pick ramen noodles. After dropping 1700 on a MacBook, 500 on an iPhone, 700 on an iPad, 99 a year to develop for the iPhone, and 149 on this revolutionary new iPan, all I can afford is ramen.
Thanks, Apple.
