We’ve had 48 hours to hear all the news about the new Apple iPad (and God forbid, we’ll hear more about it in the near future more than many of us would care for). Many of the pundits are calling it a true rival to Amazon’s Kindle and the e-reader market.
I came across a brief article the other day that asked the question “Is the iPad a game-changer?” (CNNMoney.com article) The article lists a few valid points about the ultimate question of where the iPad fits into the computing scheme of things. After taking some time to digest the specs and capabilities, as well as read some of the drivel (for everyone’s sake – there have been a few good ones out there) that many reporters have spouted about the iPad, I don’t think that it will be some huge seller or success like the iPhone is. (see this CNNMoney article for the analyst’s predictions.)
