A Verdict on the iPad, 8 Months Later

It’s been about 8 months since the iPad debuted. It’s made Time’s “50 Best Inventions of 2010” list. A recent report from IT research firm Gartner predicted that tablets will “displace around 10 percent of PC units by 2014”. Some research analysts have said that it’s the most quickly adopted non-phone electronic gizmo, surpassing the DVD player. It’s Oprah’s favorite “all time thing.” Gus Sentementes of the Baltimore Sun’s BaltTech joins us to look back at the iPad nearly a year after the launch hype.
