iPad - the best way to experience the web, email, photos, and video

In January, 2010, Apple computer introduced the iPad.

It won't be available for purchasing until at least March, 2010, but already millions of people are interested in this new product that will define a new category of portable computing.

All of the built in applications are designed from the ground up to take advantage of the iPad's large Multi-Touch screen and they work in any orientation.

Rather than describing what the iPad can do and missing some of the main points, here's a link to Apple's iPad features page that describes it in great detail.

Everyone will want an Apple iPad!

I do! I do! I gotta get me one of them!

A lot can change in just over a year. Now, I carry an iPod Touch everywhere. I rarely use it to listen to music, but it keeps my calendar, contacts, to-do list, and other essentials on hand at all times. I definitely intend to buy an iPad 2. It has all the features I want and need for demonstrating to clients. Some things don't change. I still don't like cell phones. (grin)

Mahogany says:

I want one.... for my mom :). It would be PERFECT for her!

Joan4 says:

I do!!! And I am not techie at all, but this just sounds like a fun product to have! and functional too!!

OhMe says:

I have heard of them but not being very techy, I figured it wasn't for me. However after reading this great lens I think I definitely need one.

Susan52 says:

I'm not likely to get an iPad (I'm happy with my Kindle), but that doesn't keep me from wanting one, in case anyone is taking notes out there!

pkmcr says:

I think I will probably go for it when it's been around a year or so and of course dependant on whether they just substitute a £ for the $ sign for those of us in the UK or actually price it based on a reasonable conversion rate :-)

johndilbeck says:

I've been a loyal Apple fan and customer since the original Mac was introduced in 1984, but I've never been interested in a portable computer until now. I don't like cell phones, so I was never interested in the iPhone. I can listen to music on my desktop Mac, so I don't need an iPod.

The iPad, however, is something I want and I want it now!

Not me. Are you kidding? I'm not wasting my money!

You know, I think I'll pass...at least at first. It does sound intriguing though.
