My first impression of Apple iPad

Now, finally the Apple tablet has been released. It's officially called "iPad" (the name is also being a target of sarcasm)

The hype was really huge, and I also was one of the victims, so a lot of people may have disappointed by the real product. And it's true, It was not as huge as I thought. But as I'm watching many informations about it, I feel it's very reasonable and very Apple-ish.
I was disappointed by the lack of camera also, but it would not be reasonable if it had. it'll be good for a video chat, but no one will take pictures or videos with an 10-inch device.

However, apps for iPad will have a lot of advantages, You can do even more than iPhone apps with a big screen. There will make many other new business models I think.
And this is just a start. This new product will make a new industry. iPad is the first tablet device which has the OS specialized only for touch interface like iPhone, so in my opinion, after a few years touch-based device will be main stream and iPad may be the start of the era.

But I still wonder. will someone be carrying iPhone, iPad, and a MacBook together? iPad cannot alternative iPhone or MacBook yet, so we should be watching how high will the sales go up. But you know, it's Apple. it's very pretty and attractive.
