Where Can I Get an iPad?

It’s practically impossible to have not heard the buzz around Apple’s newest product, the iPad. Part laptop, part iPhone, it’s been said that the iPad will revolutionize the way we look at computers. With a 9.7″ touchscreen, 10 hours of battery life, and access to tons of iPhone apps, it seems as though there’s almost nothing this device can’t do (except take pictures, but expect a camera on the 2nd generation version, and it’s not equipped with GPS).

If you still aren’t convinced, check out the buzz on Twitter or some of the headlines going around – “iPad battery appears to exceed Apple estimates“, “Apple’s iPad ‘makes technology instantly accessible‘”, “Apple’s Woz: iPad Great for Students, Grandparents“, and “iPad Keeps Up with Columnist’s Speedy Typing.”

Maybe you missed the big release earlier today, and don’t want to order online.  There’s still a chance to get yours at one of the Apple stores in Orange County. There hasn’t been much word of the iPads selling out, but it might be a good idea to call before you go just in case!
