Initial iPad Reviews Are Very Positive

By On April 1, 2010 · 5 Comments · In Apple, Reviews

iPad reviews are coming in from marjor news sources all over the Internet with one overwhelming theme: They like it. The New York Times, USA Today, PC Magazine, Wall Street Journal, and TIME have all gotten a sneak peek at it and all have great things to say. The absolutely only consistent flaw that reviewers touch on is the lack of Flash, but that was known from the initial announcement and has been a constant complaint about the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Walt Mossberg, writing for the Wall Street Journal, even goes so far as to predict that it is the first step towards the death of the mouse:

For the past week or so, I have been testing a sleek, light, silver-and-black tablet computer called an iPad. After spending hours and hours with it, I believe this beautiful new touch-screen device from Apple has the potential to change portable computing profoundly, and to challenge the primacy of the laptop. It could even help, eventually, to propel the finger-driven, multitouch user interface ahead of the mouse-driven interface that has prevailed for decades.

Expect to see a lot more reviews just about everywhere you look as of the iPad’s official release this Saturday, April 3rd. I don’t personally plan on buying one, but I will spend some quality time with it at the Apple store and post my initial impressions as soon as I can.

    gosh…still waiting for the release in Australia. Has been pushed back as US can’t cope with the demand.

    Somehow, the hype outpaced Apple’s expectations. I’m sure you’ll see it down under soon, though. ;)

    Well with the numbers finally in surpassing two million current ipad owners (and growing) in seems that Apple has made their statement quite clearly. They now boldly claim that the tablet will one day surpass the home computer. We will see.

    I think in the long run iPad will be a very good gadget to have but I don’t think that it has all the facilities we want in this multitasking world.

    @iPadaccessories – Though the iPad is certainly popular, I think it has a long way to go before surpassing the home computer.
