Is the iPad just a fad?

Do you guys think the iPad fever would ever really reach a point where everyone would want to have one (similar to what happened to the iPod and the iPhone to some extent).

I do agree that it is a very useful product but can anyone point out how it could possibly become a mass-consumer product?

Someday, it'll become a necessity. News anchors are already using it to check news-related tweets. See, Bandila.

Not necessarily an iPad but something portable and has a touchscreen interface.

i think it's safe to say "it is already"... hehehehe... bitaw, maybe in the next few years.

However, many people can't afford this iPad thing. ingon man gani ang uban "Apple" para ragyud sa mga datu... hehehehehe and i disagreed.

For the actual ipad it self its too big,heavy and bulky to be considered a portable device.. probably other smaller/cheaper tablet devices will become a mainstream.. especially ang iOS closed source.

IMO, I think it is. Personally, I would prefer a laptop because I can multitask.

but i read somewhere (pcworld.com i think) that TABLETS (iPad, Galaxy Tab, etc) will replace laptops coming 2012.. hmmm...

para nako, flop ang IPAD. I would prefer a Macbook Air or a regular laptop. =)

it would really be useful for us in system integration when we do client visit. but mas nindut gyud kung multi-OS xa para magamit in almost all platforms.
