iPad. Not for I!

So like everyone else i was looking forward to the iPad, and not  just because i can’t bear the price my friends are shelling out for the kindle or because unlike my other friends i don’t subscribe to the gospel according to the almighty Jobs. I was looking forward to it because i look out for apps and gadgets that do what they say they do and the fact that some think i suffer from the syndrome techynes-i-tis brought about by the pathogen  gadgetae.

But after going through the iPad can – do’s,  asking myself,  “what will iPad do that my notebook and phone can’t do ?”  I came up with this conclusion. Wait for it….. !nothing.
Apple Steve Jobs and Co have very well figured out how to gain the following of the rest of the folks who generally don’t use desktops/laptops for everything they are advertised to do and do not necessarily need an app device  when they just needed to receive a call.

So for those over gadget feature overloaded techies who anticipated a new device that will change habits for everyone this isn’t it, but it will surely change the regular Joe who doesn’t need all the gigs to check email, read the news, watch a video, stalk old flames on facebook without squinting or calling tech support to turn on the computer.
