Apple: Cult branding meets perfect design and functionality. I'm not an Apple boy yet, but I don't think I can hold it back too much longer! Apple, for me, are right up there with Google in terms of innovation.
@Brent - reality distortion field, sounds very sci.fi, come to the mothership, bring your apple ;-)
@Simon, My Windows Mobile is highly tweeked to think it is an iphone! But I can hear Apple calling me (or perhaps it's an echo from Brent's mothership)
@Eos - Agree...kids are going to love this, it will become so norn to have so much available information presented through a GUI that is just whoosh... :-)

I was sat reading your post, scrolling down using the keyboard, selecting buttons using the trackpad with the pointer on the screen - all of a sudden, all of those things seemed so clunky and ancient... I *can't wait* to let my children loose on an iPad - it's technology that they will grow up with!

Yep, I think that's exactly it. We don't know what it will do until people get their hands on it.

I think people forget how much the iPhone changes them.

I don't have an iPhone but I notice that people who do use it like a prosthetic brain. I was at somebody's for dinner the other day and we needed to check a fact.

"Race you!" the iPhoners said.

You don't see people with a Blackberry or a Windows Mobile phone doing this.

No. I think you are right. I lived in the MS junk yard for so many years that I am happy to live comfortably within the Steve Jobs reality distortion field. He is a genius as is Ives and the rest of the Apple team. They make all other technologies look 10 years behind the times. They change how we do things. So of course many look at the iPad and cannot see the possibilities because they try to fit what they do now into the new iPad package. And it's frustrating when the 2 don't fit together. Change is hard. But since OSX i've come to trust Apple more than any other computer company. I'm okay with that. If that makes me an obsessive Apple fan boy, i'm cool with that too.
