 * "iPad: Revolutionary?"**

I believe for an innovation to be revolutionary, it has to bring in the attention of the consumers. Since Apple has a large impact in society, people expect Apple to create a new product that would inspire and bring in a unique device that are different from any other devices (a product unseen in society); however, the iPad contains features of the iPod touch, iPhone and Macbook. The device is the midway of Apple’s past inventions through the design; it is a larger version of the iPod touch with the same features, same size as the Macbook, but the Macbook contains features like as a CD drive. In addition, it was said that a feature that stood out was the e-reader; however, many people already have an e-reading device, and also, some people prefer physical books. With a physical book, the money you spend on it would feel like it was actually purchased, while purchasing for an e-book would feel like paying for nothing (the book is always with you, the e-book is virtual).

Although the iPad contains distinct features that may interest some people, many have said that they prefer other devices such as laptops and physical books; therefore, hearing the comments from many Apple fans, the iPad may not be revolutionary.
