My Review of the iPad

I love Apple. I am a firm believer that once you go Mac, you never go back. However, I don't care to own an iPhone, therefore I don't understand the point of an iPad. Brace yourself Steve Jobs, I'm gonna be real with you.

My prejudice against the iPad may stem from my use of the Blackberry, a device that has opened my mind to other companies outside of Apple. Furthermore, I don't care for AT&T, which means I really don't care for the iPhone. I recently purchased an iTouch, which is essentially a mini iPad, but after two days I was over it. I have a MacBook Pro already--I don't need 4 other methods to check Facebook and Twitter.

I respect the way Apple has practically revolutionized technology all on their own, but sometimes I don't understand why they make some of the products they do. Okay, iPod changed the entire music industry. But do you know anyone who owns the iTV? In my humble opinion, the iPad falls into the same category as the latter. It's something that is hyped up now, but really it's just another tool to suck the life out of society. We are already consuming enough information as it is, we don't need a ginormous iPhone (minus the phone part) to help us out.

On the other hand, I am a huge hypocrite. Ask me again how I feel about the iPad in two years when I have enough money of my own to purchase it and am biting my tongue.
