Very good article with a lot of truth. Apple released the iPad at just the right time.

It's interesting to read the comments from the Cult of Mac users...Steve Jobs forgot to say that traditional businesses won't like the post-PC era.

Really great article. A 7.85-inch iPad sold at $199 would kill Amazon. Heck, I'm getting a Kindle Fire for Christmas and I'd still probably spend $200 to get the new iPad, if what that article stated is true.

I love my iPad. And it has replaced 95% of what I needed from a computer. Recently I went TDY and used my iPad to write papers and presentations. I think the article is well written and factually correct.
I know the price is high, but I feel as if I've gotten my money out of it. And if I lost it today,I would go straight out and purchse another.

It is interesting to read the impact across several user bases. I know two of my big enterprise clients that are rolling out iPads to their entire sales staff. 9,000 at one client and 3,500 at another. They found that their sales staff saw an increase in productivity that was beyond their expectations.
Apple never enters a market first, even though it seems they invented the space. Their marketing always makes you think they invented the smartphone or tablet but hardly the case. For whatever reason, probably a combination of their design, hardware, OS, and marketing, it just seems like they have been doing it forever.
At the end of the day, there will be Windows tablets, iPads, and the Kindle.

Sent from my iPhone4S using Tapatalk | Heck, I would be interested in that, Fire is nice but most of the Amazon services are not available in UK and I already have a Kindle 3G and love it, best feature it has is the text to speech, I've listened to quite a few books already while driving without paying for audiobooks( voice sounds exactly like Siri's voice)

Sent from my iPhone4S using Tapatalk | If it weren't for some other holiday shopping, I would have gotten a playbook. I can't really bash the space the ipad shares with android and qnx, but some of it's limitations are utterly frustrating; the safari browser crashing is downright annoying and the limited usefulness of the device unless one has a data plan is downright infuriating.
Why I like the ipad and it's ilk; these mobile devices have created new opportunities for entrepreneurs.

Not me (raising my hand) , I have No problems with the ipad, iphone or apple in general. I just like Blackberry products better. Its just like the product war that nike and reebok had a few years ago. To each his/her own
