Apple's iPad Idea

 Ideas behind Apple's iPad:

Ever since i was a little kid, in thoughts about the future, there was hover cars, blue collar robots, and flat pannel portable computers and with the completion of the iPad, this could help pave the road to that future.

I believe sometime in the future there will be a portable if not hand held device that manages and covers all of our electronic device needs, from business, personal, social, gaming, and much more. As of now this device has not been created but there are people working on it right now im sure. Regardless of your opinion on the iPad as far as its practical use, you have to admit that it is a pretty cool idea. That is origionally what got me hooked into the iPad, although i do not own one i think its radically futuristic and i am waiting for the next generations to see what they are capable of. The iPhone was amazing at its time of release, no phone had apps and if you wanted music you owned an iPod and had a cell phone for phone purposes.

I am hoping that in the future apple puts a more computer like operating system, or at least a bigger range of options like a desktop PC. I am awaiting the future releases and updates along this line of products.

As always lets hear your opinions, does the iPad serve a purpose in every day life? or does it get buried beneath magazines and books on your coffee table?
