Loved the story in The Sun today about the Queen asking for an iPad after seeing her grandchildren using one. (The Sun’s headline is “Queen is ’Appy and Glorious”…)
I was going to say how good this would be for the Apple ‘brand’. But I don’t think they need it as it was also announced today that Apple has overtaken Google to be the #1 most valuable brand in the world.
On a more serious note, we have heard many examples of the iPad being the ‘breakthrough’ device for older people. After years of being technophobes, the iPad is so easy to use, light and useful that it just seems to finally ‘click’ with older people.
A Buckingham Palace source said: "The Queen has a mobile phone as well as two iPods, so an iPad is the logical progression. She thinks it will be great to keep her entertained on all the long trips she has to make."
But, at 85, the Queen is actually pretty with technology already. Even has her own Youtube channel! How cool is that!
