Apple iPad

The Apple iPad will be released next month, and how will it change technology and what we do? Analysts predict that there will be heavy adoption among enterprises. It’s conceivable that professionals like insurance adjusters and doctors would greatly benefit from great apps on the iPad. But what does the iPad offer to the everyday consumer?

I recently purchased an iPod touch, which already has changed how I do things. Take my morning routine for example: after I take a shower I read my email. I used to do this on my laptop, but it’s a hassle to type in my password and read my email with the a trackpad. I now check my morning mail on my iPod touch, which suits me well because I don’t need to reply to anyone at 7:30 in the morning.

I would love to substitute an iPad for my morning routine. I think that even for the older generation that might not be comfortable with computers, an iPad would be great for them. The touch interface is intuitive, there are plenty of apps, and their grandchildren would certainly get less calls asking for tech support.
