My Long Wait For The iPad

The iPad obviously came out April 3, 2010, now dubbed iPad Day and over 300,00 people purchased them at Apple Store nation wide. I was not one of the lucky 300,000, why? To start, I am a huge Apple fan, not to be mistaken as a fan boy, because I have many issues with Apple yet still love them. Now, Apple products are high on the pricing list which I have no issue with minus the fact that my wallet is being emptied, the iPad however is quite cheap in my opinion. I could easily purchase a 32GB iPad with no 3G, but I didn’t because I am planning on purchasing the iPhone 4G or whatever Apple names it. I will be waiting till September, or next April to get an iPad that is quite the long wait. It may be rewarding though, by the time I get an iPad there will be a camera, and many more since it will be the second generation model and it will be much more faster despite it’s already blazing speed. I have a friend who has an insider at Apple who says that the iPad 64GB model may come down to $499 sometime this year. So, waiting is a good thing, only issue is the torture of hearing and watching people play with the amazing apps, spend hours on the toilet and all the other wonderful things the Magic Pad can bring!

iPad Unboxing

Like the rest of the world, Saturday April 3rd was all about the iPad for me. I was one of the people who woke up early just to make sure I'd be able to pre-order at 8:30 A.M. So after weeks of waiting, I was more than excited to unbox my iPad, for a couple of reasons...

1. Obviously, I was excited about getting the iPad.

2. It was the launch of my new Technology channel on youtube, TechTrove, which I had been planing for awhile.

Below is my first ever unboxing. I hope you enjoy!

My Apple iPad Launch Thoughts

Today, Apple has shipped out thousands of brand new iPads to users worldwide. Hundreds of unboxings and app reviews have already been uploaded to YouTube and various other video sharing networks - in fact, they filled my subscriptions box completely! Some people arrived at their local Apple store hours before the official launch of the iPad, waiting hours to get this piece of technology into the palm of their hands and be one of the first, to turn that tablet on. Various people such as Chris Pirillo have done unboxings of this gadget and are receiving thousands of new views from doing so. Household Hacker even got two of them in one box! (I wish I was him! :P)

I predict that this iPad launch will be one of the biggest launches of Apples history. In the next few months, this gadget will sell thousands more units and generate thousands of dollars of income in the Apple App Store. Soon, thousands of new iPad apps will venture out into the App Store too, allowing iPad users to use their iPad more effectively and efficiently.

The iPad, may just become one of those "required" devices that an average consumer MUST have in their hands.

My Thoughts? Well, I think this launch has been an EXTREMELY successful one for Apple, like I said above in the blog post, it will continue to rise in profits over the next months and we will see many new features and fixes coming into it soon.

Thanks for reading this blog post, hope you enjoyed it and be sure to post a comment telling me about what YOU think about the iPad launch.
