iPad

I guess I'm somewhat late to publish a post on the iPad since everyone seems to have already written something about it. The iPad has hit the ground with determined to keep it's foot on brake. Most blogs that I have read have given disappointing posts about the iPad's failure. This includes the usual points: there's no flash, and because of this most sites don't work; no usb port; no disk drive etc... But my thoughts are not quite the same. So what if you can't browse the internet that much? It is still a e-reader. It has the App store. It has a touch screen. Its got email. It can browse the news. It has a good quality screen. You can watch sports. It has keynote( presentation software). Let's value this stuff. E-reader- about 260$ , app store( we'll give the price of an itouch, since that's the cheapest price for something with App store) - about 180$ , keynote- about 50$ sports/ internet- we'll give the price of the netbook minus flash and other stuff ; about 50 dollars. That is more than the price of the initial iPad. About 540$. But this doesn't include the fact that it is about 1.5 pounds, and half and inch thick. It's as if it isn't there at all. Plus, it's a lot easier to use the app store's 140,000 apps on the iPad because of its bigger screen. And of course you can look through photos and navigate with the flick of a finger. The iPad may have gotten bad reports from others, but I have to say, it seems pretty good to me. When you are buying a kindle or nook for 260, throw in another 230 and get internet, app store, video, and so much more. What's wrong with that? (I'm not being sarcastic).
