I listened to a financial commentary on the iPad this morning and he had a great take on it, saying that the price will come down to below $200.00 and people will have them laying all over the home, using them like you would the newspaper so when you are in the den, the kitchen, the living room you will just pick it up and began looking at the sports section, picking up a recipe off the net, checking your stocks, picking back up on the book you were just reading, balancing your checkbook then laying it down and picking up one in the next room when you are done with the meal and sitting down to watch TV. I believe he is right.
I think this device (or one even better) will become a part of our everyday lives. Most of our needs will be with WiFi and not involve paying a phone company their monthly fee. Just today I wrote to Forbes and Truck Trends (both were due now for renewal, I'll do the same with each as they expire) telling them that I would no longer subscribe to paper documents and I would continue with their firm as soon as they had the magazine on the iPad. I am tired of killing the trees and filling the land with needless trash when there is a much better way.
