Ok. It rocks. For a device that is trying to create a niche out of nothing, this device has all the bells and whistles (except Flash). It works as an eReader, a picture gallery viewer, and you can even watch movies on it (just not Youtube Flash types). It's light, its sleek, and you have an innate desire for it just because its from Apple.
What more need I say? The statistics here already spell out that 300,000 iPad purchases were made on the April 3rd launch day. Read the full article here to satisfy your heebie-jeebies.
One downside to the fray to be added here - iPad apps prices aren't very friendly at the moment, costing generally twice as much as iPhone apps. Read more from Engadget.
If consumer purchases of the iPad doesn't skyrocket, coming up with other uses for the device will. People have been dreaming of using such a touch device for medical and other usage for years. This article (by Wired Gadget Lab) highlights how a college is purchasing at least 2400 units in order to see how the iPad can revamp education. Already simply taking the physical weight of the device vs several heavy textbooks will make children's schoolbags much lighter.
And of course - A REALLY GOOD USE for the iPad! =D by WGL.
Well, we can always hope that the HP Slate will provide a little competition with full Windows 7 usage on the 8.9" screen I suppose.
