Steve Jobs on the Ipad 2

"We've been working on this for a while and I didn't want to miss this." ~Steve Jobs (March 2, 2011 conference release of the Ipad 2)


These were the words of a fatigued, yet determined Steve Jobs. He was said to have been on his sickbed for an extended period of time leading up to the release of the Ipad 2. He was definitely there in the flesh with updated info on the Iphones, Ibooks, and the original Ipad. He seemed in great spirits as he said  "There's a lot of stuff going on and it's all good." 


"The Ipad is not just a personal computer, it's beyond that," said an apple consumer on the strip shown at the release. The Ipad 2 has undoubtable buzz that won't be silenced anytime soon. The frenzy over the second generation Ipad is almost as amazing as the fact that Jobs made his way to the release despite his illness. As he described all of the new features of the Ipad 2 (the camera, chip and faster speeds), all I could think was how determined he was to see the birthing of what he created. He's an example that nothing can really stop you when you're determined.


"The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't." ~Henry Ward Beecher
