Apple and the IPAD only Scratching the Surface

With the addition of the IPAD, Steve Jobs and Apple continue to lead the way in cutting edge technology.  The IPAD, for those of you that don't know this yet, is a tablet computer (the first of its kind), created by Apple Computers.  It combines all of the functions of a regular laptop computer using a built in touchscreen keyboard, with Smartphone technology such as games, apps features, and a whole lot more. The first IPAD was sold in April of 2010 and in nine months had sold over 14.8 million.  In January 2011, the IPAD 2 was released.  Apple calls it the IPAD 2nd generation and is a slimmer, lighter, and faster with a lot more features than the original IPAD.

Now I am a person that really doesn't like to keep up with the lightning speed technology of today.  I bought the Playstation 2 only after the Playstation 3's came out, for the discount of course and I purchase my first smartphone a year ago after my cell phone service provider offered the phone for free after my contract ran out.  So I didn't really care to notice the IPAD when it first came out.  It was only after my daughter's grandparents bought an IPAD 2 for my daughter as a birthday gift, did I begin to take notice to what Apple is doing.  I love how fast the IPAD is.  I love downloading the free games and books.  I've even purchased some apps that my kids love.  I've become a fan and I think my next computer will be a IPAD 3 for myself.
