It was a great day for Apple fans. As my readers may know, I am a Mac/Apple fan and our household is all Apple (2 Mac minis, 2 iMacs – I have the new 27 inch, Apple TV, 2 iPhones, 6 iPods of various types).

The launch of the new iPad was hotly anticipated. I do see how it fills a niche and yes, I would get one (a version of two down the line).

The build up was a little too huge for my liking though because following such a build-up anything less than an absolute miracle was bound to be disappointing. I followed the Gizmodo live blog of the event (live blogging built on WordPress). I was sorry to see AppleInsider’s live feed go total fail as the event started. The last post I saw was – “We were told to turn off our cellphones.” I suppose the writer turned off his phone and was goodbye after that!?!
