Apple iPad: It will happen

Product Introduction
I am
an Apple person. I have an iMac, iPhone and
numerous iPod's but I am not going to buy an iPad
right now. For me it's too expensive and if I
can't multitask and write via a stylus I don't
need one to read books. However will all that
said I know damn well that Apple is probably
working on a version 2.0 right now and a lot of
third party vendors are already thinking about
ways to make the iPad easy to integrate with
business.
AT&T promises that they will be ready when the iPad becomes a mass market item but I have to say that 3G speeds feel like dial-up when compared to broadband. The Internet connection infrastructure in this country needs an influx of investment dollars to keep pace with the rest of the world but it will happen because it's a great way to add jobs and money to the economy.
There are no fewer than a 12 models of tablet computers coming out in the next year and I am not going to bet against Apple. A lot of people were underwhelmed when the iPad was introduced but smart people know that the door to future possibilities is not all the way open yet. When the iPad is $199-$299 they will fly off the shelf and people could have 2-3 of them in their households. It will happen just give Apple time and resist the urge to spend money on a tablet PC that will be out of date within a year.
