I’ve used Apple products most of my life.

It’s my preferred computing environment.

Tablet computers? I didn’t think it’d work out. Everyone tries to jam existing paradigms into a different piece of hardware and it doesn’t work. Apple doesn’t do that. They approach the paradigm from its proper place and try to develop solutions that work for it.

From what I’ve seen, the iPad should do that, very well.

It won’t replace general computers, like laptops and desktop machines, because it’s still rather a restricted environment, like the iPhone/iPodTouch. And I’m sure it still has to be synced and backed up to a desktop/laptop machine. But to have more screen space, to have more “on the go”. Books. Games. Videos. Books. Whatever.

Yeah… I suspect this is going to be a hit. There’s a lot that Apple seems to have gotten right about the paradigm.

All my kids and Wife already want one, each. 🙂
