Look at it as a sort of tech/fashion accessory- it tells people you are hip, important and tech savy. See? Glad I could help. A PS Prolly get one just to play with... |

Hey smoking cigarettes was a fashion accessory. It used to tell people you were hip, important, cool. Not sure if that's still true these days....

Wait, what? The iPad is like cigarettes? Does the Surgeon General know?

it tells people you want to be hip, important and tech savvy by spending money on something that has SOME capabilities of a regular computer or even smartphone...

That being said, it will never replace my laptop. I am far more productive on the laptop than the ipad. They are two very different machines. I am not sure if we will ever figure out what the purpose is for the ipad.

My wife has had one for 2 months now. She still prefers using her BB Torch or the notebook for emails. She received several Hallmark e-cards via email and had to boot up the notebook in order to view them because the iPad choked on them. Deleting emails sometimes crashes the mail program.
Surfing the Web is a chore because keeping a WiFi connection is very spotty, and this is sitting 5 feet from the access point. Our 4 notebooks, 2 cell phones, Wii, XBox, Kobo reader and network printer have no issues with WiFi from anywhere the house. She also prefers the Kobo for reading books. The iPad is too heavy to hold comfortably for an extended period in one hand. The iPad display is ok to read during the day but burns out the eyeballs at night, though using night mode on the Kobo app helps a bit. The Kobo reader's e-ink display is much easier on the eyes, day or night and is so much easier to hold and take with you. For a while the kids used the iPad to play tap fish. All the fish are dead now and flushed because they lost interest. So ruling out email, surfing the web, entertaining the kids and reading ebooks on the iPad leaves us with...playing Angry Birds. I'll have to admit, the iPad is a good device to play Angry Birds. I finally cracked the top 200 on the scoreboard list on the weekend You have to hold it down to play though as it spins on the table otherwise. Nice to see the them ditch the curved back in the new model. Who would have thought Apple bending to function over fashion.

As far as I can tell it's a bigger iphone without the that pesky phone thing getting in the way (great way to fix the dropped call problem I must say, just eliminate the phone part) and a way for old people with failing eye sight to play angry birds on a bigger screen.
Jobs is a genius
