if you were watching the Academy Awards last night (which I wasn’t), then you saw the new commercial for the iPad. I think as we get closer to it’s release and when it does finally release, we will see a whole bunch of “haters” flip the script and go out and pick one up. Sure the first gen is not gonna be perfect, but it looks fun, entertaining, and like it will be a valuable tool to an artist/designer’s arsenal. I’ve decided I want to pick up the first gen, maybe entry level wi-fi model, just to test the waters and see how I like it. Hopefully before my trip to China towards the end of April. Then when the next gen comes out, go for the upgrade with 3G and all. Tell me this doesn’t look like loads of fun!
