I Touched an iPad…and I Liked It…
Yesterday – against all forms of better judgment – I went to the Apple Store at 12 Oaks Mall in Novi, MI.
It was a complete zoo scene, as it so often is at any Apple Store (do they even waste time with economic forecasting at Apple?).
I was actually at the store to buy voice recognition software for my MacBook (aka, my “Happy Machine”).
But, of course, being the evil geniuses that they are at Apple, they had a plethora of iPads scattered about.
And ALL OF THEM were mocking me and calling my name.
And there was simply no way that I could avoid picking one up. So I did.
Hello, sexy!
iPad, you had me at “hello.” So perfectly sized and weighted. So well constructed. So SEXY.
I feel that that the iPad (1) is tailor made for real estate, and (2) will help speed the tech-driven transformation of my industry that is already well underway. Here are video guided tours on Apple’s website that will show you some of the reasons I just LOVE this device…
But my addiction to all things Apple is not the point of this post.
The point of this post is to lead you to posts written by other people who are in my space – real estate – who have already weighed in on this amazing piece of technology.

I agree. Got the new 3G version three months ago and love it!
Unfortunately iPad x2 more expensive here in South Africa – would love one.
Walked into Apple Store, looked around, touched iPad, played with ipod touch, walked out empty handed. I have a macbook so I love Apple. I’ve been reading about the Notion Ink ‘adam’ Tablet at notionink.wordpress.com so I’m waiting for its release. Touching the iPad didn’t deter me from waiting.
The new Macbook Air looks good as well. More likely to buy it if I do stay with Apple.
