Tomorrow is the big day. That’s right, you can place your order for the “magical and revolutionary product at an unbelievable price”. The iPad, Apple’s version of the E-reader on steroids is available for pre order from the Apple store.
As a technology junkie, I have been trying my hardest to justify the $499 price tag. I have come up with my own list and maybe this will help you decide whether to be an early adopter or not.
Reasons for me to buy the iPad.
- I was one of the people who paid $599 for the first iPhone. This is 100 bucks cheaper. What at Deal!
- I tried a netbook and took it back. Was it a laptop? No not enough power. Was it a e-reader? No it had a keyboard and was cumbersome.
- I wanted a Kindle, but this has color display, plus video and all the other features.
- I have seen some of the iPad versions of Wired and other magazines and they are unbelievable.
- My daughter will love to watch movies on it while we are traveling. (Ok, actually I will like to watch movies)
- There are going to be thousands and thousands of applications that will make it even better.
- The Kindle with the same size screen and no color and no other features is $489 bucks.
- And finally, it looks really, really cool.
Where will the iPad fit into your life? Will it replace your e-reader? Will it act as a netbook? Is it a whole new category. I would love to hear your thoughts.
As for me, I will log on in the morning and place my order.
