“iPad is as Addictive as Oxycontin” says Mad Money’s Jim Cramer according to Apple Investor. The Business Insider gave it a two-word review “It’s Great.”
After one day with the iPad, I agree with both themes.
It Feels Natural. It does so much so easily and there is something very right about controlling a computer by touch.
The Execution is Superb. In 2006, I tried the PC convertible laptop-tablet and loved folding back the screen to control the computer with the pen stylus. The feeling of the iPad is natural, along those lines, but here we are dealing with something different because the execution of the concept is superb.
It's Capacity is Staggering. Just a few years ago it took about 10 CDs to have 100 songs? Now I have 958 songs, 14 videos - TV shows and movies, 598 photos, and 33 Applications- one of those Apps is iBooks, which contains the Complete Works of William Shakespeare, War and Peace, and several other titles. All that stuff fits into 14 GB, or half of the storage on the mid-sized iPad- or about 28 times the storage on my computer in college.
The Effects Will Ripple. If the division between life and career holds up and what happens at work has no effect on the rest of life, then the iPad is, at least, an excellent lifestyle devise.
In the office, the iPad, right out the box, can replace many things - like email, calendaring, and web browsing- and perhaps does a better job of it.
However, I typically reject life-career distinctions and look for how tech, law, life, and ambition may be combined to add something novel rather than just replace something precisely.
This is An Exciting Time. To compare recent history, which still feels like yesterday, to the reality of today makes me proud and gives me hope for a future coming fast. I think the iPad is an excellent reminder of how quickly things change-but that's the easy part. I'm interested to see how fast people will do likewise in response.
To paraphrase a friend, my first day review of iPad is that it is ten miles past awesome in several directions.
