I ageee with Andrew in that Steve Jobs should had came out with the iPad first and then the iPhone and iPod Touch. I would had been very excited for the iPad then. I do like the idea of the iPad although like everyone else it could had been better. I currently have an iPod nano and planning on buying the iPod Touch soon. (I don’t want the iPhone because I prefer the pre-paid cell phones.)

Andrew,
you make some great points,. You are the original apple fanboy. I need this ipad to revolutionize education.. and I think it will. I am shocked everyone is complaining about what it doesn’t have. Apple’s biggest problem this time I think was all of the leaks and rumors. they should think about going back to keynoting macorld and dropping bombs there.

I am honestly not impressed and will not be getting one. Of course I didn’t get the iphone right when it came out – I waited for the 3G, which was apparently a good idea. As for comparison to the kindle – the iphone has plenty of apps that allow you to read books, and there’s no way I’d waste my money on a kindle for that reason. The point you make about being able to have internet anywhere, anytime for only $30/month is good, except that for $55/month, you can get Clear, which is a 4G internet provider that allows you to take the internet anywhere you can reach a sattelite. It’s the fastest thing out there (except maybe fiber – but you can’t take fiber with you).The thing with Clear is that it replaces whatever you pay for internet at home – it’s not in addition to it. Something to think about!! I agree though – the iPad should most definately have been relased first.

the deal breaker for me is that there’s no multitasking. BIG fail there, IMO.

I like it, I was not expecting anything more than a big iPhone from the beginning anyway. I love the price! I was going to pay 250ish for a kindle anyway some time soon so this just makes it that much better that there is so much more for not a lot of money.. Sadly there is no AT&T 3G coverage where I live so that is out, just the WiFi version for me. I think I’m getting the 32GB for the first one and hold out a year or two and upgrade when they update it with a camera and other features and stuff like that before I get the one with more space.

@Nia – I agree with most of that, though it does have YouTube.

In regards to the body of this blog, I was thinking the same exact thing last night and agree 100%. Honestly though, at this point in time, I am completely unimpressed by the device.
