iPad: First Look

When the iPad was first announced, I was curious. After learning about it more, I think that iPad is overrated. Sure, it's a bigger screen, a faster processor, Wi-Fi + 3G and all that good stuff. However, I just don't see the appeal. To me, it's just a netbook with a touch screen. Also, with the prices they for both Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + 3G, you're better off just getting a laptop. They're cheaper and have much more to offer. I'm going to wait for the next ipod touch to have an fm tuner because that's the feature I want the most. Now, I love the iPod Touch, but it needs an fm tuner. I know that they're apps for internet radio and those are cool, but sometimes, I want to listen to my local stations.I tried the iPod Nano with the fm tuner, but it just wasn't the same. I hope that the next iPod Touch does have an fm tuner. Then, to me, it would be a perfect device. So, in conclusion, if you got the cash to burn and the iPad's appealing to you, be my guess. Everyone else, just get a laptop.
