iPad Makes its splash

iPad was released on Saturday April 3 2010, and its working its way on making a huge splash in its opening week.  Some 300,000 iPads were sold on Sat. and the total was at 450,000 on Thursday.  Jobs Mentioned that 3.5 million downloads for the iPad apps.  I didn’t buy one just yet because I wanted to wait to see what iPhone OS 4.0 had in store.  I did go check out the iPad at my local Apple Store and I was pretty amazed by its performance.  To many it appears as an useless large iPod Touch but really its not that large. Possible 4 iPod Touches put together.  The iPad has a beautiful display, its fast and smooth, the apps available on it are pretty amazing.  So its all perfect no.  Thing I hate: The Black outline, no direct usb inputs, apps are overpriced.  I spent about 30 minutes messing around with the iPad, and I overheard many customers mentioned the iPad being overpriced, a Large iPod, and apps being overpriced.  The App Store brought success to the iPhone and iPod Touch, but many of the programs on the iPhone are completely free.  iPad was released with only 3500 Apps, which is a lot for opening day, but choices are not as abundant as the iPod.  Will I buy an iPad? Eventually, upset that iPhone OS 4.0 doesn’t hit the iPad till Fall 2010.   Also if you are wondering, many Apple Stores have the iPad in stock.
