Brain Fitness authority SharpBrains has been keeping a close eye on the release of Apple’s iPad. Reviewer Luc Beaudoin gives the iPad a thorough look in terms of its cognitive wellness spec and gives it a clean bill of health.
Interestingly, the iPad becomes yet another platform for Mind Sparke and other brain fitness software providers to support. (We’re already working on an iPad version of our popular iPhone software.)
More platforms means more cost for the industry and more choice (or confusion) for consumers. Apple has put it’s weight behind a platform that gives neat new features (GPS, touch screen, accelerometer, etc.) but requires new development.
Consumers also expect to pay less for iPhone apps. This puts pressure on providers to find ways to bring the price down without affecting quality or going out of business. A tricky recipe to get right!
