Reviews for Apple's "Magical & Revolutionary" device are starting to come in steadily, and initial indications are that Apple has another hit on their hands. The best review I have found to date is from PC Magazine. I like this review, because obviously they are not Apple Fanboys, and if anything, would be biased against the new iPad.
Check out the video review to see full details. We plan to join in the excitement Saturday to test out the new Wifi version, but we have officially ordered the 3G version, mostly to ensure we get the GPS. Now the hard part, waiting for the 3G units to ship while everyone else is enjoying Apple's newest creation.
Are you planning to get one?

Mac vs. PC Campaign
I find it laughable that Microsoft waited 2+ years to respond to Apple's very effective campaign. The damage has been done, and unfortunately, Mac has repositioned PC as a nerdy, inflexible, dinosaur.
Mac has had explosive sales growth, and their brand affinity is literally off the charts. People genuinely love their products. Bill Gates and the Microsoft crew sat in Redmond, Washington with lustful eyes and venom directed towards Apple when they should have been ensuring Vista was ready for primetime before launching an inferior "upgrade". Too bad the Seinfeld campaign was a non starter, and Microsoft has already changed course. Not to mention that Seinfeld was notorious on his own sitcom for having a Mac computer prominently displayed in his home office. Rumor has it that Pharrell, Eva Longorio, and other stars in the new PC campaign also all proudly carry iPhones and iPods. With friends like these, who needs enemies?
