The Apple iPad

Well Mr. Jobs, you have done it again! A legion of fanboys flocked to the internet this past Wednesday, January 27, 2010 as news of the oft-rumored Apple tablet device was finally confirmed. So, what does this mean for us all? Basically, the cannibalization of a multitude of products into one nifty, little device no more than 10 inches wide weighing in at around 1.5 pounds starting at $499. While it does lack some features many have openly criticized (e.g., multitasking, flash compatibility, camera, etc.), what the iPad does have going for it is its synergy. 


How nice to read the latest bestseller while listening to your favorite playlist with a little on-line shopping thrown in for fun on your next car trip (ideally while you are not driving), all on one device?! And, when you need a new book, song, or blog, a few clicks and you are good to go (barring you entertain AT&T's data plan). 


Will people line up to buy it in March when it debuts? Of course they will! Will your's truly? No. I am waiting for iPad 2.0 to appear next year with the kinks fixed and critics appeased... oh, and with better leak protection too (sorry, but I had to)!
