Apple's iPad: Shut up, it rules!!

Will all those pretentious bloggers, critics, and general consumers shut the fuck up about all the things the new iPad CAN'T do! Did they miss the fact that it's suppose to be the 'in-between' device?!

There's the iPhone that performs a unique, innovative series of tasks and still stands as an incredible, cultural changing device...as does the iPod for that matter. Then there's the Mac computer and laptop. Again, innovative and ground breaking. Steve Jobs pointed out in his keynote address introducing the iPad that it clearly was a device that was indeed different from the others. Yet still embracing a number of applications and software indigenous to other Apple devices.

I'm tired of these people decrying 'oh, it doesn't have a camera...oh, it doesn't have a phone...oh, it doesn't have HDMI...oh, it sounds like a tampon...oh, how can people with Boston accents ask for one in the store without it sounding like they're looking to buy an iPod? (yes, this was an actual complaint!). BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! Some critics are actually asking for a name change! Yeah, good luck with that.

You know what?! This gadget has a very strong future ahead of it! And one video blogger said that applications for the iPad's use would probably go beyond what it was originally intended for. Uses that were perhaps not even thought of right off the drawing board, and that's just fine. The iPad was never intended to be an all-in-one device, and ultimately, never was the iPhone. I do, in fact, plan on buying an iPhone sometime this year. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

So everybody out there...CHILL! The iPad is here and it's pretty damned cool! And yes, I have a biased opinion because I am a Mac whore....but hey, ya know?!
