Did you buy an IPad?

[GTO Man]

Did you purchase one and what advantages do they give you over what was already available?

In my opinion, the iPad will revolutionize the way almost everyone uses the computer. I wrote an article which describes this computer paradigm shift on my blog:

An excerpt:

In case you didn’t already know, the iPad will go on sale tomorrow. This event marks the beginning of the next great leap forward for computers. This shift takes computers from the “desktop” model of managing files, folders, and devices to a task-centric model which abstracts these things from the user. Many tech saavy people have been concerned and skeptical about the iPad exactly because of this reason, but I believe this is in fact why it is such an important shift. The plethora of positive reviews of the iPad as well as the sheer number of impressive and innovative apps already bode well for this new model.

I disagree. The experience is very different from using an iPod Touch because the screen is so much larger. The apps are not just “super-sized” iPod Touch apps but have a different and more sophisticated interface. The one thing they do share is Apple’s fantastic touch UI
