So I am sure by now everyone has heard of the long awaited tablet by Apple. for many it ranks up their with the Shroud of Turin, the Holy Grail, and the Michael Jackson Moonwalk. It had many titles before its release into the wild: E-book killer, the bane of netbooks, the end of everything else as we know it? However, now it is out, the specs have been released, the capabilities analyzed and the prices revealed. So far the verdict has been quite underwhelming. Ars Technica, a popular tech blog can be cited saying, ” …the iPad isn’t going to waltz in and just change the world the way that its smaller predecessor, the iPhone, did. It’ll have to fight its way to the top, like the iPod.” in their feature article. The main issues that many are having is the absence of Flash media support, integrated web cam and an SD card slot. Many are narrating the story of their frustration through narrative YouTube videos. Chris Pirillo, a tech blogger, uses a familiar tech narrative style to analyze the uses and capabilities of the device. Another one of these videos is “Hitler responds to the iPad”.
Pretty funny 
I feel that both styles of expression and telling this story are effective in their portrayal of this new device. I like these examples of digital storytelling because they span from one end of the spectrum to the other in terms of presentation, narrative style and over all purpose. I hope you enjoy them.
