Sam asked the question if the new ipad is going to be a big hit or a bust. From the beginning I never really thought the ipad was going to be as big as expected, and so far it is turning out just the way I planned it too. Sure, when it first came out a lot of people were talking about it around campus... and now I don't hear it mentioned ever. If you really think about what an ipad does, it's basically a laptop but flat with no tilt screen. Imagine using your laptop but looking flat, it really would make life quite difficult. Now, the cheapest ipad is $500 (they have different versions based on size and if it is just wifi or you sign up for att's 3g internet). They sell laptops for $500, less for a matter of fact. If you want the apple macbook, you can get it for $1000. Sure $1000 is double $500, but if you really think about it, it really would be worth it. I really feel like althoug the ipad is a cool idea, I think it is a little on the pricey side, and just the only people that would really want them already have itouches or iphones, and macbooks (the true apple customers who have it all) probably realize they don't need the ipad.
Did you guys also expect it to not be such a big hit?
