the same can be said for any tablet 

So the boss expected the Managers to work 24 hours..izzit?

Ok, like that dunno lucky or not IF receive Ipad from Boss..

And I suppose you cannot do that with a laptop, netbook, or a smartphone. 

I attended a presentation recently, whereby the presentation giver used an IPad to give his presentation. Looking at the guy setting the presentation up, the first thing that came to my mind was, hey, at least with a laptop, you don't have to prop it up with an ashtray.

After a while, the guy realized his futility as well, and began holding the IPad with his hand, alternating the viewing angle between my colleague and I as he gave his presentation. It was quite a funny sight.

At the end of the presentation, the biggest impression that he left me was, what's wrong with using a laptop?

And no, we did not end up buying his inventory.

Bah, fans of Apple will continue to support iPad and say it's better than laptop.

While I do admit that Steve Job has contributes a lot to the technological world, part of me claps when I saw this topic. iPad is indeed useless.
But then again, being the market leader, Apple wants to lead the market right? Maybe they created iPad to further milk from their huge fanbase, or they are just trying to define a whole new market - touchscreen tablet. They do not really need to care on the practicality of iPad, the fanbase will do it for them, a new market is waiting for them to define, and Apple also successfully limited their opponents' resources by diverting their efforts into this new tablet race.
