The IPad or the IBad

So Apple just came out with the Ipad which is just a fancy name for a bigger Ipod touch. I'm sure many people have been waiting for it to come out and are really excited for such a spectacular invention, but one has to wonder, what's the catch? Apple is always making devices with some sort of problem that they know won't develop until later down the road when warranties are over. For the MacBook Pro it was the logic board, for Ipods it was the battery, so what will the problem be for the IPad? I guess we'll all have to wait and see.

But the better question of the day is will the Kindle be outshone by the IPad? I know many people that were extremely excited for the Kindle to come out and thought it would be great to read books on a small little device when traveling. Now that the Ipad has come out, however, many people are questioning whether the Ipad is a better choice than the Kindle. Although both forms of technology are in the same price ball park, the Ipad offers many more features than the Kindle. The Kindle only offers the reading of books and texts while the Ipad offers everything from the web to email, from photos to videos, and from music downloads to book downloads.

So the real question that should be on everyone's mind is do you really need an Ipad? Yes it is high-tech and cool, but isn't that what a computer is for?
