iPad Thoughts

So it’s called the iPad and it’s going to cost $499 to start for the WiFi version. I watched the iPad keynote and have formed several opinions on the tablet.

  • No Camera is just lame!
  • Love the design
  • iWork looks very interesting and it is the future of other touch products from Apple
  • Gaming is going to be fun!!
  • Can’t wait to see what the coders can come up with for this thing!
  • Love the price
  • Hate the 2 month wait
  • Apple A4 CPU…Rock On!!
