iPad to be possibly the single most polarizing gadget(1)

Plenty of people already have their minds made up. They’ll tell you the iPad is a) the greatest thing that’s happened to personal computing since the mouse, or b) the latest extravagance from a megalomaniac who’s tricked countless suckers into drinking his Kool-Aid. Indeed, in more than a dozen years of writing about Lenovo 3000 v100 battery technology, I’ve found the iPad to be possibly the single most polarizing gadget I’ve ever covered.
There might be more consensus about health care than there is over the iPad. We could debate the significance of the iPad all day, but in the end, it’s just a gadget. If it adds something to your life thinkpad t60 battery — if you find it useful or it makes you happy — go right ahead and plunk down that $499 (for the 16GB model) to $829 (for the 64GB, 3G-enabled version). If it doesn’t, don’t. I’m not here to convince you otherwise.
Is the iPad really useful? Do you — does anyone — need one? Frankly, that depends on what you plan to use it for. Consider this: Even if you deem the iPad little more than a $500 extravagance, is it any more of an extravagance than a $400 game console Lenovo 3000 c200 battery , or a $1,500 46-inch HDTV? I don’t need a 46-inch TV, but I’m certainly happy I have one.
Let’s not forget that the success or failure of the iPad as a productivity tool lies in its apps. Although more than 2,000 are already in the app store, the iPad app market is still in its infancy. Most iPad apps I’ve seen so far are little more than super-size versions Dell C1295 battery of iPhone apps, and some are painfully clunky and crashy. (The first third-party iPhone apps were pretty unstable too.)
I’m confident that the market will flourish, especially in terms of productivity tools — but for now, we’ll just have to wait.As an e-reader, I consider the iPad a mixed bag. Its display is no doubt prettier than that of the Kindle or the Nook Dell CF623 battery — the iPad’s large color screen is easy on the eyes when reading at home on the sofa — but the 1.5-pound iPad is significantly bigger and heavier.
