Default Apple Ipad - So what do we think?
permalink

Apple - iPad - The best way to experience the web, email, & photos

Apart from the overuse of the word 'magical' I think it looks like a great piece of kit...

Surely it's just an i-phone on steroids? It does look good, but then I am an apple bum boy.

I kinda like it, but I haven't worked out who will buy it yet. Commuters? Older people who don' t need all the other functionality and cost of a normal laptop?

I think it will become clear over time, just like with the iPhone. Nobody really knew where that would go when it came out, but now it's everywhere. Be interesting to see how it develops...

I like it (so does my daughter and luckily for me her 10th birthday has just past).
Does it have any 'real' practical use? - not really. It's a toy in truth. Probably quite nice to have lying round the house.

Looks high in novelty value, but I can't see this one going the distance personally.

Really? I'm surprised you think that, this device is a huge game changer in my opinion.

I am a Apple fan granted but I really believe that this will do for Newspapers/Magazines and books what itunes did for music. But lets come back to this thread in a year and see what happened.

Don't mind me I'm just cynical Even in the face of Apple's non-stop gravy train.

And yes it will certainly be interesting to see the take-up of this after 12 months.

I can think of plenty of uses, particularly for slobbing on the couch and using to read like a book. When not in use a digital photo frame. It's perfect for some one like my good old ma in law.

Well I think this link proves that the initial take-up rate is better than even Apple expected!
