iPad is out, and Apple's OS 4 is revealed


iPad's are out on the loose all over the country. For those lucky 300,000 or so people who received their iPad's on the first day, the life-altering technology is starting to transform them. Hundreds of online reviews and blogs are out covering the initial experiences with iPad. My favorite thus far is GIZMODO's personal exploration.

There are many skeptics still out there, wondering if they really need another device. Truth is, you don't. But the iPad certainly is a fun toy.


What else is new to the cellphone/apple world? OS4. Apple recently unveiled their new software for iphone 3GS, ipod touch and ipad. Not to be released until later in the summer, OS4 will allow multi-tasking (the main complaint on the ipad), personal backgrounds, and folders.


You should probably hold out for the next generation of iphone or late summer for the iPad before unnecessarily upgrading. But if you do, be sure to recycle or resell your old phone or computer. We can expect 2G's to be obsolete within a year, and the 3G shortly thereafter.
