Mark Cuban: ‘Apple’s iPad going to be huge hit; Will change how kids grow up’

“I can’t wait to get my hands on the iPad. It’s going to be a huge hit,” Mark Cuban writes for MSNBC.

“You can book it right now that it will be the product that kids of this generation grow up with and look back on with affection just like we did with the first video games. Video games changed how we grew up,” Cuban writes. “The iPad will change how kids today grow up.”

“Apple was brilliant in how they cultivated apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch. With so many apps for kids, any parent with young kids and either of these two devices will tell you that their kids use and love them,” Cuban writes. “The iPad will take this to the next level. I recognize that it’s very expensive for most families right now. Hopefully that will change over time. If it does, you can bet every home with kids will have an iPad.”

Cuban writes, “On the flipside, the minute these devices hit critical mass in families, the DVD market for kids, who watch the same movie over and over will end as we know it. Download Scooby-Doo one time and the need to hassle with all those DVDs for the kids at home or on trips becomes a distant memory. A relic of an older generation. That’s big.”
