Does the ipad live up to the hype?

Apple has earned a reputation as the maker of some of the most elegant and user-friendly computers, music players and smartphones in the business. The Apple iPad does not disappoint and may be the most impressive piece of Apple hardware yet!

It is bigger than an iPhone, and much lighter than a laptop. The build quality is excellent. The aluminium back feels great under the finger and nothing feels cheap.The front is almost entirely glass, save for a thin aluminium frame. The back is a gently curved plate of anodised aluminium. All the content is so seductive to look at, the screen is so bright and all those things you have grown used to watching on the small screens of iPods and iPhones suddenly leap out at you on the bigger iPad.

In essence the iPad is a blank slate, designed to perform the tasks you set it. The blank slate Apple has created has enormous potential and will change its purpose quickly. Even so, you may want to hold off until the inevitable second edition which may have improved connectivity and extra capabilities – if you can wait a whole year!
