Finally! The new iPad!

[HoustonMom22]

At first, I wanted a Kindle. No let me rephrase that, I lusted after the kindle! However, I didn't buy it because there were so many features that I thought were obviously needed in an ereader that did not exist in the Kindle. If I buy a book with color pictures, I want to see them in color. If I read in bed at night, I don't want to have a  seperate book light.

Then, along came the Barnes and Noble star-the Nook. It feels much better to the hand, and I like that it is linked to my favorite book store. However, the cutest covers (via Kate Spade) are almost as expensive as the Nook itself. Still, I was going to buy it. The piles of books on my nightstand, coffee table and overflowing from my bookshelf were begging to be consolidated in a simple, concise way. Then, I heard that Apple was going to unveil a new tablet PC with eReader capabilities.

Today, Apple did just that! The new iPad is out. Though I agree that the name sucks (sounds too much like a type of feminine care product), it finally has what I have been loking for. I loved my iPod touch, so I switched to AT&T to get an iPhone. I love my iPhone, so now I can take it one step further and get an iPad. And at less than $500 to start-it won't hurt my budget too much either. Color displays, Internet, and iTunes at my fingertips.

What do you all think?!

I want one TOO!  I have never wanted anything Apple until this iPad.   Still I love going to the library or bookstores for paper books.  I just love that you can surf the internet etc. on the iPad.
