Introducing the iPad – digital relief for that time of the month! Errr…
Remember when the iPhone came out and they had giant ones in the windows at the Apple Store? Well now you can finally take one of those home! It’s called an iPad! Actually it’s more of an oversized iPod Touch with optional 3G. With iBooks. In other words, not impressive!
I was really disappointed in today’s release. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Mac, iPhone, and iPod, but Elliot Stocks brings up a good point/question in his article, “If you have an iPhone and a MacBook Pro, why would you need an iPad?”
All the hype and rumors surrounding this release are of those that are so Apple obsessed they will love anything shiny Apple throws at them. This is one event I think I’m going to pretend didn’t happen and wait till March/April when they hopefully announce something interesting, such as AT&T losing iPhone exclusivity and/or a 1TB hard drive for the Macbook Pro line.
Steve I’ma let you finish, but Always had the greatest pad of all time!

I do think it’s pretty pointless, if I’m being honest. But I still want one! :P It’s so big and shiny!
Well. I really don’t think I need one. I just bought the iPhone and I bought it because it has everything all in one. It’s perfect: my phone, my music, my calendar, my email, my photos and everything else. Anyway. I think it’s too big. You can’t just carry it around in your pocket like the iphone. I might go down to the apple store and play with it when it’s released but I don’t think I’ll by one!
While it’s not going to replace your Macbook or even your iPod Touch, I don’t think that’s what Apple was aiming for. This is a tablet computer meant for those who need to do basic computing who don’t want to carry their laptops around. I’d say using the iPad sure beats having a hot and heavy laptop on your lap. I don’t necessarily think it’s amazing or “revolutionary”, it has potential, and I’m sure Apple is holding back certain key features that will make this product good.
