This article is about the newest edition of the gadgets for the gadgeteers. Last week, Steve Jobs, the CEO of the Apple Company, released a newest edition of the iSomething series: the iPad. Since America is in addiction with Steve Job’s products, and came to a point where MP3s are now called iPods and cellphones are called the iPhones, it seems to me like Apple is America’s best known company, even in the world too (I, myself, own two iPods and a iHome), and that is why I was interested in reading this article.

This article written by Manjoo included interesting facts about the iPad; he talked about the pros and cons. He seemed to me that he is more in favor of the iPad, although he talked about the downside of the new product. He goes into details about the positive side because the title says it all: I Love the iPad.

I personally stopped liking the iPad after reading Manjoo’s article because the article emphasized more on the negative side of the iPad. On the last line, he mentions, “The iPad isn’t for work. It’s for every other waking moment.” I think that he needs to fix his article a little to convince his opinion even better. Sticking with the title, he should only talk about the positive side, and try to convince the readers that iPad is “the computer I’ve always wanted.”

Personal opinion about the new iPad. I think it is not so practical. It is too big to put it your pockets, but it is too small to carry it in a computer bags. Also, since it is a touch screen keyboard, it seems to be hard to work when you are in rush. Also, the iPad is so thin and light that you have to break your neck trying to look down, or screw your legs for crossing it for a long time so that you can place it on your thigh.
