There’s no doubt about that. At first I was thinking, “It looks so awkward! I have to hold that thing and try to work on something at the same time! Useless”. But unfortunate Apple-Advocate as I am, I got the epic ‘iPad’ email last night from the company and was wowed by its features. I’ve wanted something like the iPhone, but in a computer form for a long time. I give Apple the utmost credit for being the technology pioneers once again, and for fulfilling my futuristic dreams.

It’s the first model of the iPad, so I know in time, there will be modifications and such… just give it time, and it’ll make a name for itself. Just wait until you see someone out in Starbucks with the iPad for the first time (if it isn’t you, yourself). I’m sure it’s going to get attention no matter the skepticism.

Apple’s done it again! :)

Oh and as I was watching the Keynote… I felt really bad because Steve Jobs isn’t looking real great. I hope he’s doing okay.

Not asking for much here, just what should be the standard at this point.

Even Palm has that…

Maybe they can, maybe they can’t, but they’ve actually never tried. Microsoft is not in the PC hardware business.
