iPad - Redefining the PC Market

iPad that started as a another new product from Apple, oversold nearly at the rate of 1.25million per month.

Initially felt that iPad type devices are more like an enlarged smartphone.. I had never used iphone and always looked it as a overpriced flashy toy that Americans love, much like ipod which again i never tried due to little interest in music..

Like many other tech guys i focus a lot on the specifications .GHz speed, RAM, Motherboard.. and reviews and comparisons spec. by spec.. most of which again use to be from geeks .. reassuring my belief in specifications..

I had used few smartphones like few HP PDAs and then windows mobile htc phones . most of them rarely gave me any value or benefit of the extra spend.. and mostly lead to lower battery life and most them them i either broke or lost..

I also had HP laptop tablet and earlier used HP touch pdas... with stylus.. after some interest in starting I never used touchscreen or stylus features.. and mostly end up finding them to be burden. This made me believe firmly that thuch screens are not good .. then for all my mobile also i always prefered full scale keyboard.. and used some nokia and htc models.. that worked well atleast for sending sms..

This was reason i never shown interest in iphone and later ipad..

But few months back my tech specifications interest brought me to buy 1GHz Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S .. after seeing good reviews from most users..even though i waited several months for its model with keyboard... but finally bought without keyboard as available..

I found the touchscreen amazing and withing few days i could do almost everything i wanted with keyboard without any issues and enjoyed its good 4inch LCD ..along wiht android OS..

Within few days i could do most of my work for which i used my netbook with it and i almost stopped using netbook at home.. even for travel it worked great.. i found it of great value .. even more then my netbooks and tablet laptop..and felt i should have gone for it much earlier..

it completely changed they way i use to read and access news.. i was consuming much more information then i use to earlier in a single day..

It made me to think that iphone might be doing all this since 1-2 yrs and if i had bought it .. it could have been helpful even at high price it sell in india.

The only problem i felt with galaxy s phone was that after using it for many hours my eyes will ace..and i though if there were to be device larger size .. it could have helped me do better.. and then i realized that ipad is exactly what apple launched it for..

I made plan to buy ipad.. but then read about motorola zoom and new ipad and planned to wait for them.. and here is launch of both the devices and they are amazing that if i start using them .. i may not even need my laptop at all.. even in office..
