Who hasn’t heard the big news? Steve Jobs announced yesterday that the iPad (teehee) is the next best thing. The best of both worlds. The universe of smartphone and laptop combined! However, if you have an iPhone and a MacBook what is the real reason you would need to purchase an iPad? Yes, it’s cool. But so is an iPhone. (I still love my Blackberry.)

Before becoming too enticed and excited about this new form of technology, I would have to interact with it. Jobs is the inventor of the century changing iPod. Maybe it was a one hit wonder?  I can’t imagine what the Apple team was discussing around the table when brainstorming names for this device.

Maybe – iTab

No judgement. The iPad (teehee, can’t help it) starts at $499 for 16GB and goes up to $699 for 64GB. Add $130 to each model for the 3G feature.

We are intrigued but not convinced.

And weighing in at just 1.5 pounds and half inch thick – we would rather carry around a silver metallic clutch fitting all our technological essentials.
