The iPad

The best reaction to it I read here. Saw this linked on daring fireball. I think the iPad looks like it might be a fantastic tool to carry around for presentations (Keynote looks like it is great on it), to have an image portfolio on it to show around and much much more. I am most definitely a major technology nerd and I like complete control over my computers but I can see how this thing might be fantastically useful without needing constant attention to keep it running. The paradigm is finally shifting to the instantly usable and super simple computing appliance we were promised years ago instead of the crap we get from the computer shop today that you have to spend hours on to get running smoothly even if you are an expert at it.
