With 13 million iPads sold this year, it’s hard to believe that the release of the iPad was just last April. My initial though, like many, was this is just an iTouch on “steriods.” For the first few months that’s exactly what it seemed to be. It looked like an iTouch, it functioned like an iTouch, it must be… a very large iTouch.
At first thought, was this just a reader that one-ups the Kindle. Why get a slim black and white pad that only reads when you can get a colorized little computer.
Many iPhone app developers sent out press releases stating that they were creating larger versions of their apps escpecially for the iPad.
I had to run down to my local Apple store to check it out. Very cool in appearance and feeling. I though , this is sleek, very Star Trekkie. At a sharp $500-$800, way too much for yet an other toy.
