The iPad, a technology that is mind blowing to some and Apple is ready to make it even better. Apple has announced that it will try selling TV Shows on the iPad for 1 dollar. This will begin sometime in April. This is important because if people can get the shows they want and be able to probably carry them around maybe they won't have to make sure if they will have time to watch their shows. Also this could lead to Apple having its own subscription service through iTunes which would most likely be successful given the amount of people that have Mac computers or iPods. This could impact the audience because it is a more convenient way for people to watch tv...portable. Look at phones and computers, cell phones and lap tops are more popular because people like being able to carry around their technology. This could be true for television, if you could carry around a mini television to watch when your on the train, traveling or stuck in line somewhere I am pretty sure most people would love that.

Posted above is a link explaning the iPad further and some of its features however it does not talk about the TV Shows because that is not coming out until April and the iPad was released a couple weeks ago. It is a mix between a laptop and an iPhone and could revolutionize hand-held technology. Another way this could help would be the late-night programming shows that most people aren't able to stay up to watch. They could wake up in the morning and on the way to work or while getting ready watch the late night show that took place the night before. (Pages 184-186 in the text).
