Why I Bought an iPad: Part 2

When I set out to buy a tablet I had a specific goal in mind. I wanted a device that would allow me to consume information. Entertainment was a distant priority. I watched a lot of iPad Today on the TWiT network to get an idea of what I would be getting and made a list of apps I thought would suit my needs. Those apps now dominate my homescreens and my quick launch bar.

I scoffed at tablets for a long time, but, in my defense, I associated tablets with Windows Tablet Edition, small laptops trying to be "tablets", styluses, and clunky tablet/touch controls.  Since then I've had three different phones (HTC Touch Pro, Motorola Droid, and the HTC Thunderbolt) and, like everyone else, I've become accustomed to using my fingers to play games, browse apps, read email, etc.  I realized that technology had silently seduced me without making me aware of it.
