There is an
article today in one of India's leading dailies about the famed iPad "killer" from India. It is commendable that the product comes from a startup founded by 6 youngsters with the average age of 24; that all of them barring the MBA are from premier education institutes of India; that they took the bold step into the realm of hardware products which is not India's forte; that their innovative offering "Adam" uses half the battery life as the iPad and probably has the same ratio for the price as well. All excellent stuff.; kudos for the effort and for making India proud.
But after all the fanfare subsides and one really thinks about it, this question does come to mind; Is the iPad really worth killing?
I mean since the day it was launched we have seen numerous tweets, blogs, you-name-its about how it is nothing more than iPhone on steroids, it has no useful function, etc etc. The only saving grace for the iPad is the price range of $500 - $800. Which makes it attractive enough to add the list "things-I-dont-need-but-have-to-buy". But seriously is it worthwhile to put efforts into killing something that is already dead?
