			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, I&#8217;ll admit it. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>I was the disappointed with the launch of the Apple iPad.</strong></span> It didn&#8217;t change the face of <a href="http://twitpic.com/101miq" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 10px; float:right;" src="http://photos.ramseym.com/pictures/blog/ipad.jpg" alt="" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="250" height="333" /></a>computing as we know it today. And it doesn&#8217;t revolutionize your life either <em>(or fold your laundry)</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>But, that&#8217;s exactly the problem.</p></blockquote>
<p>The expectation that this device would do exactly that made for huge buzz-kill for most of us <a href="http://scobleizer.com/2010/01/28/a-16-year-olds-view-of-apples-ipad-ifail/" target="_blank">techy-geek-heads</a>. But, again- that&#8217;s exactly the problem.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Perhaps this device isn&#8217;t for techy-geek-heads.</strong></span></p>
<p>Has anyone considered that since this is an &#8220;instant on&#8221; device (no startup waiting) the <strong>many practicalities and convenience of being able to instantly browse the web or open media files</strong>. There isn&#8217;t a netbook out there that performs as quick or as beautifully as the iPad.</p>
<p><strong>Perhaps</strong> there many practical uses for this device we have yet to consider, take for example; graphic designers showing their portfolio at a coffee shop meeting, real-estate agents working with clients using it to show photos and their properties, photographers portfolios, or anyone who sells anything could use this device in a meeting (I already show friends and clients photos and portfolios with my iPhone and I&#8217;m confident the iPad likely does it better).</p>
<p><strong>Perhaps</strong> everyone has &#8220;office space syndrome&#8221; and we are just hopping on the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcv5e6xX25I" target="_blank">jump-to-conclusions mat</a> before anyone really actually has used the device besides the techy-geek-heads out there.</p>
<p>The verdict is still out in my book until I actually get to physically hold it- touch it- use it and put it through my own tests. And for the record, <a href="http://ramseymohsen.com/2010/01/wait-10-hours-in-line-again/" target="_blank">I would still camp out for this device</a>. I want it.</p>
<p>What do you think? What was your reaction to the iPad? Do you want to buy an iPad? <strong><a href="http://ramseymohsen.com/2010/02/stop-it-you-are-overreacting-about-the-ipad/#respond" target="_blank">Leave a comment</a>.</strong></p>
