OK, finally I could see why iPad is appealing to me!  It’s all about the broadband connection really!  It seems that with iPad you only have to pay around $29.99 per month to get unlimited Internet connection with no contract through AT&T.   This means it’s much better than most Internet connection plan that you could get for your laptop and netbook.  iPad is smaller in size when comparing to most laptop, and so it’s a perfect device to replace laptop when you’re on the go.  Obviously, laptop could be more powerful than iPad and less powerful than desktop, this is why Steve Jobs didn’t mind saying iPad is here not to replace anything but only filling in the gap between laptop and smart phones (I think that’s what he said)!  Wouldn’t mind buying iPad if the price drops a little more.  Patience is virtue!
