iPad Hype

Who’s excited for the iPad?! The New York Times looks to Technology research firms for an in depth analysis of the current market for the iPad. “One firm, NPD, found in a study that 18 percent of consumers expressed interest in owning an iPad.” If about one in 5 people want an iPad then it’s not the next iPhone.

I’m skipping out on this iPad because I don’t need it and it’s first gen. However, if and only if the iPad becomes more like a Mac would I want to wait in line for a release. It will be interesting to see how Apple decides to improve features like incorporating USB, camera with video, matte finish larger screen, updated OS X, and basically everything else that makes it more like a computer than an iPhone.
