The iPad Release

First I have to say that I've had trouble with my gmail account along with everything else so needless to say I have a new gmail address, site, blog, etc.

Saying that, the release of the iPad is exciting but I can't say that I would purchase one. The iPad is portable and looks like a smaller laptop and a bigger iPhone. Having no "cover" to speak of, I would be afraid of breaking it. The abilities of the iPad seem broad and cover a large spectrum which is nice but I would think it might have limited memory and certain capabilities.
As a teacher, I can see grants being written to get iPads for classes in place of new books and new laptops. I can also see business people and specialists (doctors, etc.) using the iPad as a means of portability and consolidating information.

  1. I think you are right..I think this IPad will be used more for doctors and business people first before teachers! Great thinking.
