What I like in the iPod, is its functionality. I just have to buy one device to read ebooks, surf the web, play games and so on.

Also purchased a 64 gig IPad due to received April 3 which I expect the following Monday April 6 but what the hay. My kindle will be my companion but I just like having a new toy but it won't take my Kindles place.. I have 4 Laptops/ 2 Desktops and I'm on the john now using one of my Laptops. I have them placed in stratgic locations for convience. Don't imagine I will be too thrilled with my upcoming IPad but who knows what it might bring. My cheeks are getting sore so I will close.

Electronic newspaper and a uprising market for e-books are the most important answers to do that question. Amazon already knew there was a market so they released the Kindle there weapon for dominating the e-book market, it has been going pretty well. Amazon expect a revenue around $750 million just on the Kindle alone in 2010. The newspaper in paper form is going to be dead in a few years from now. Instead we are going to have what we can call the plastic newspaper, a thin piece of plastic paper that can transform every time there is a new issue out.

I firmly believe that we need a home computer that works like a television, where no technical knowledge is needed to operate it,when you turn it on it just works and it doesn??t keep crashing. On a side note it is interesting to note that the reverse is in fact happening, televisions and the like are becoming more like badly behaved PCs, I regularly have to reboot my freeview box when it crashes. But that is another story. As I was saying we need a simple PC for the masses, one that surfs the web, sends emails, handles media, and does some of the othere things we use PCs for. When I got hold of an iPod touch, my immediate reaction was, this is it. This is all the computer most people need. It works. It is intuitive to operate and it doesn??t (seem to) crash. If only they made it a bit bigger, maybe had a optional keyboard and mouse. I should really mention these thoughts to Apple, I am sure it would take off???? I am going to spend my remaining days telling anyone who wants to buy a PC and doesn??t work in IT to get an iPad instead. Maybe Steve Jobs will give me one in lieu of commission.

I do expect to see the versatility being an asset in swaying people's decision making, along with it being an aspirational brand.
