I am a consumer whore, and at the same time an Apple fanatic. This is a dangerous combination. It has caused me to purchase multiple different computers. Mostly for the novelty, but also because I like to be on the cusp of what is new and interesting in tech.
First moments with the iPad
My first few moments with the iPad were pretty normal as far as any Apple product goes. The packaging is nicely done, displaying the ‘goods’ right away, giving you a sense of something great is to come. Starting the device for the first time brought up the regular “connect to itunes” icon, after connecting, it allowed me to skip syncing and start to play.
