Mini-Post About Apple's Boast:

Steve Jobs from Apple on the rise of the iPad and the fall of the PC

FYI... while the iPad creates a frenzy; like the iPhone - there are copycats. Asus and HP have their own versions, and unlike Apple, you don't have to go to the store to get apps to run on these platforms. You see, the iPad requires the user to download everything from Apple's iTunes Store, while the PC-platform versions allow apps to come from multiple sources. Most of the good ones won't come without a price tag, although once the open-source community grabs a hold of it, then lots of free apps will trickle on down the line. Also, a word of advice; just like when a new restaurant opens, you usually wait a while for everything to fall into place before trying it out. There will be updates, service packs and continuous new versions morphing out of every nook and cranny. remember the first touchscreen on a phone? The first eReader? No matter who you choose to go with, let the 1st-Gen work out the kinks before you plunk down all your bets on the first horse out of the gate! ~ Miles West, President, A Geek To Go!
