So the iPad came out in America last Saturday and has sold over 450,000 units in it's first week. I was initially sceptical of the iPad but I have to say it's massively grown on me. Having a quick web browsing tablet notebook is an extremely useful device especially if you just want to quickly browse something without having to switch on a computer.

The interface itself is receiving rave reviews and being a fan of the iPhone and the touch screen for that I can imagine the iPad is just as good if not better. The use for it as a musical interface is also really interesting as with the touch screen interactivity and the accelerometers built in it leads to an extremely interesting control surface.

It seems Apple look at small upcoming markets and aim for dominance, the mp3 market with the iPod, the smartphone market with the iPhone and now the tablet market with the iPad.
