Am i the only one who can't read all those "the iPad will change our world" prophecies anymore? It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy, repeated and echoed by blogs and news media, people already buy the iPad like crazy. Most of the people probably don't even know why to buy it, only that they have to buy it to stay cool and have the current supergadget according to every news source on this world.
Have you used it yet? I don't mean that in a negative way, it's just that most people I know had no interest at all in the iPad until they saw mine. The hype can't hurt, but this is a product that simply sells the shit out of itself.
This is exactly what I thought about the first iPod. I really didn't think it was that big of a deal because there were other mp3 players on the market. Then I actually got my hands on one... Wow.
I am afraid of going into an Apple store and walking out with an unplanned purchase of an iPad.
Just so you know, I agree with you. Especially because most of those articles are written by nincompoops who overlook entirely where it really will change the world.
And, so you know, that's not what the article is about. It's about sales numbers.
