iPad Purpose?


What is the purpose of Apple's new product, the iPad? When it was first announced, I had to have it.. but i stopped and ask'd myself why. I had no answer. It is a mixture of a netbook,iPhone, and a e-reader. It doesn't excel at anything the latter does. Netbooks are capable of multitasking and come with stronger computing components. The iPhone is smaller, lets you make phone calls and has the same apps. A e-reader is more portable, comfortable in ones hand.. so where does that leave the iPad? Is it just a shiny new toy to show off? Writer Rob Pegoraro seems to be confused for its purpose too. To him it just a flashy toy. I have to agree.
