It's been a few months now since Apple introduced the iPad, the revolutionary device for browsing the web, reading and sending email, enjoying photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, reading e-books and much more. 

Initially we were somewhat reserved - what is it? where does one use it? But we're now starting to come round to the idea and realizing that it could actually have a place amongst our desktop's and laptop's. First and foremost - what a great way to read an online magazine!! ;-) 

Here's what the big guns have to say:

Bill Gates (Microsoft) 

"I strongly believe in touchscreen and digital reading, however still think that the combination of voice, pen and a keyboard - in other words a netbook - ill remain the most important. So, for now I am not as enthusiastic as when the iPhone was introduced. In that case Microsoft really did lag. The iPad is a good looking gadget but do not have the feeling that Microsoft should have come up with this. 

Stephen Fry (Comedian and presenter)

"There are many things to critisize the iPad for. No multitasking , still o support for Adobe Flash, no camera and no GPS. But all these things rapidly dissapear like snow in the sun as soon as you have it in your hands for a couple of minutes. I can't say it enough: " Keep your opinions to yourself until you have had one in your hands for 5 minutes."

Vincent Evers (Trendwatcher and gadget freak)

"If you are a techy then all you will see are disadvantages. If you are a normal person then you will love working with the iPad. The screen is great, the battery lasts for ages and you need no knowledge of the interface. Even the keyboard works well, I was very surprised. I'm still reserved to the idea of reading hundred's of pages  on the iPad, seeing as you are staring at a 30Watt lamp. But for browsing a sending emails, I can't imagine not having one - especially in the lliving room. I will have it with me alot. Nice one Steve Jobs!

Let us know here at LA2DAY what you think of the iPad - we're very curious!
