This week we got an iPad. When it was first released Chris & I were excited and intrigued. We are huge Apple fans and love that the company is built on the principle of "thinking different."  Although we were initially unsure of how "revolutionary" the iPad may be, we saw the immediate benefit for client meetings and presentations.  However, after just a few hours of ownership our mindset changed from "cool product" to "WOW!"  The iPad seems to be the type of gadget that takes a little while to really grasp all of its capabilities.  To the outsider looking in, it may seem to be nothing more than an oversized iPod touch, or iPhone, but after spending a few hours with it, it is obvious that this is a device that will truly will change the way that we consume media and interact with technology.  The biggest thing to recognize is that the iPad is not catered for the 'creation' of content, but rather the 'consumption' of content. This is an experience powerhouse. Ever since we purchased the iPad just a few days ago, we find ourselves reading multiple newspapers, checking our investments, listening to fantastic news story's on NPR and interacting with the internet in a way that seems much more personal.  To us it seems that being able to touch and interact with articles seems to create a more unique and interesting internet experience, it is more like reading a real newspaper vs going to the new york times online.
