I have to confess that when I first heard of Apple's iPad I was sceptical. They found massive success (and for good reasons) with the iPhone, and they have certainly built up a large and very loyal customer base for their Macs/Macbooks. However my take on the iPad was that it would be a flop for the simple reason that if you're looking for a portable device, you want something that can fit in your pocket (like the iPhone). If you're looking for a performant device on the other hand, size is no longer the driver and so the significantly better functionality of a laptop when compared to an iPhone outweighs its decreased portability.
I have since been proven wrong, with sales of the iPad breaking records and hitting more than 1 million units per month. Nevertheless I still stand by my first opinion - that although the iPad offers more functionality than an iPhone, it is barely more portable than a laptop, which would offer even more functionality and performance than an iPad. So - are you an iPad owner? Is there even a grain of truth in my view of the iPad, or am I completely off target? Please comment below and let me know your thoughts!
