Surprise! The iPad is a tablet.

Actually, less a traditional tablet and more a giant iTouch. I have to say my first reaction was disappointment. There was nothing exciting and unexpected about it. I was hoping for a magical E-ink style screen, multitasking greatness, forward facing camera, super 2GHz dual core processor, plugless charging (and syncing) and other revolutionary concepts. I wanted the iPad to be the greatest gadget ever created.
After letting it sit for a while, contemplating Apples other successes, it dawned on me. Apple is a software company (well derr). The iPad was never going to be the hardware game changer that people speculated, but it is going to be what Windows 7 will never be, and that is an OS designed for being used on a tablet.
It is designed with convenience in mind. This is a true consumer device. It will make surfing the web fun, watching movies fun, playing games fun and it might even trick some people into reading books again. Just don’t expect it to replace your notebook.
Though I believe the price is still very high for what you get, it is the Apple premium and will guarantee you a constantly evolving user experience and one of the biggest stores around. I won’t be buying one when they are available but I have no doubt Apple will sell record amounts of them.
