When I first heard the Apple's announcement of the iPad, the first words out of my mouth were these: "Are you serious?" It seemed like just a pointless gimmick, another one of Apple's attempts to make more and more money. I mean, what could it do that an iPod touch or an iPhone couldn't? It was just bigger, and took up more space. I maintained this opinion for several months, until one fateful day..
I had gone to the mall with my family, and we happened to stumble across an Apple store. Me, being the tech lover that I am, wanted to go in and check out all of the cool gadgets. I saw the iPad, and began to play around with it, trying to find out what made it so special. It was love at first sight. Using Apple's now world renowned tablet computer, well... it felt like magic. It was so simple to use. I felt like there was a world of technology, information, and wonder right at my fingertips. Needless to say, it was an insta-buy.
I could now just slip the tablet into my backpack, open it up, and I could do all of the things I did on my computer, except 10 times easier, 10 times faster, and the equpiment is about one 10th the size of my laptop. It never overheated or got hot in my lap, it never shut itself down to force updates that I didn't want in the first place, it never took 15 minutes to boot up... It was like all of the extra, unwanted, burdens of the laptop just fell away, and left in it's place was a beautiful, sleek iPad. The battery life was so long, I have never found myself in need of a charger since I bought it almost a year ago.
Since it was so thin, so light, so simple, I often felt like the hardware itself had melted away and I was just alone with my applications. And the applications, too, were more beautiful then ever, displayed on the perfect high-definition screen. I could access them with a single touch, using the most user-friendly interface I've ever laid eyes on. The store had accumulated such a large, vast marketplace of everything from games, to tools for handling business.
But now, I'm rambling. I think you see my point. The iPad wins on all levels- it's perfected all aspects; hardware, software, etc. Thanks to the iPad, I've successfully been converted to a Windows/Microsoft/PC junkie, into a 100% Apple-fan. This is a gadget that has been sent from the heavens, and into my lap. I am an iPad junkie, and I am overwhelmingly proud to say so!
