Some people are beginning to be seriously bummed out by the Apple iPad, but Steve Jobs and Co. still continue to dole out the Kool-Aid, saying that their “magical” new portable device is going to be “the death of netbooks“. We seriously doubt it, Steve, but we love your marketing department.
With Apple iPad “first ship” schedule nearing — April 3 — there’s gonna be a lot of these in the near future, but Apple started by debuting their first iPad ad on Oscar night. Here’s the video:

Cool gadget it maybe, but more and more people are beginning to doubt its netbook-killing capabilities. No expansion ports, no portable hard drive usage, no external DVD drive usage, no direct-from-camera photo uploads, no Flash capability…. the list is long.
But then again, some of you out there may actually have money just idling around that you’d want to invest in something like this. Well then, this ad is for you.

April 3rd is right around the corner, Im still not positive how this Ipad is going to go over. When I compare it to a current laptop its going to be realistic for me to justify getting one. I do like it and I Apple products, I just dont know if I’m going to get one of these.
