I thought iPads were another spin but I was wrong. I spend thousands of dollars a year buying books so I justified it buying an iPad. I thought it was going to be similar to the Kindle but with a colour screen, well turns out it is amazing. I can see it replacing newspapers and books in the future, try reading on it, using your fingers to zoom in/out of text, is just pure bliss.
Not only does it have some 100,000+ apps but access to amazing content. I use PressReader.com which has an iPad app. It gives me access to over 1,000+ international newspapers, including 171 Australian papers and I get it before it even goes to newsagents, everything from The Herald, Courier Mail, Australian, all on the iPad in it's FULL form, e.g. nothing taken out, all ads, everything as if I have the paper in front of me.
I am no Apple fanboy but I can say the iPad is revolutionary in terms of how it will change the way people read newspapers in the future.
I have to admit these Apple fanboys really annoy me, many of them will do silly things just to be a loyal supporter, e.g. like waiting in front of the Apple store for hours when they could of bought it from JB, Myer, etc. These fanboys actually make Apple look like a fad rather an an innovator.
Apple stock today is over $250, making it bigger than Microsoft. Glad I bought it a few years for under $90.
I would suggest people goto an Apple store, download PressReader and try reading a newspaper on it. Then be amazed.
