Ipad as an e-book reader and much more

I've been reading many many books on the ipad in the last couple days. ibooks and Amamzon kindle books are a pleasure to read on the device. As with any backlighted device, there is some eye strain if read a lot or too long, but it is worth it. It is very easy to obtain a book, and use it right away. And it is very easy to navigate within the apple ibook application. Ipad as an ebook reader is simply amazing. I've used three ebook readers and this by far is my favorite.

Lastly, I see where ipads are being implemented in point of sale situations, medical labs and hospitals, and every school kid wants one of course.

In my opinion, this is to the pc what a pc was once to a typewriter (what?).... they'll just improve these devices and competition will make even better ones available, and we'll all end up with new revolutionary "computer" tools in the very near future. Envision this in every car, in every restaurant, in every doctor's office, and what you'll read your morning newspaper on.

Seriously, in my opinion, with newspapers and magazine subscriptions at a historical low... this is the media you'll soon get your daily newspaper on and monthly magazines on, etc! And your tv and movies too! Some are ALREADY available in record time.

This will be pervasive technology. It explodes the new era that already had begun... blended media
