I don't see the attraction myself. You don't seem to get much out of the box with the iPad, software and hardware wise. Behind the slick façade, there isn't much in the way of innovation and plain computing grunt, mainly due to that pursuit of aesthetic perfection. That goes for all apple products I suppose. And even if I did like them, I wouldn't want one for the simple fact that my Grandmother thinks she is the bees knees whipping out her iPad in front of everyone and playing Island in the Sun by Weezer. Hip hip... not.
In saying that, I am an Apple computer fanboy and I don't know how I would survive without my MacBook pro and iMac. Their OS is pure bliss and their battery life owns every PC equivalent.
How has Steve Jobs not kicked the bucket already?
