The iPad

Guy Serle has a good article here on the iPad today, and covers lots of reasons why we agree that Apple has another hit.

I ordered mine yesterday, too. I ordered the 32 gig without 3G. So why would an old Apple Fanboy/techie like me ordered the “limited” version?

1. This will be principally used at home or one of our favorite hangouts where wifi is available.

2. This is mainly for my wife, who is losing her vision and can no longer read regular print books. Even large print books are becoming problematic. The iPad is:
a. Brighter than the Kindle and Nook.
b. Has a bigger screen.
c. Can zoom way close for ebooks and web sites.
d. Portable like the even MacBook is not.
e. Can be held close for easier seeing compared to her iMac.

3. I have the iPhone for 3G if I need 3G

4. I don’t need to spend another $30 a month for something I already have on the iPhone.

5. All her iPhone apps will work on the iPad.

6. I can create ebooks on my Mac and upload them to the iPad.

Now all I have to do is wait for April 3.
