Is iPad the Next Big Thing?

Apple has introduced the long awaited iPad. Just like the iPhone revolutionized the mobile internet, the iPad will save print news.

Paper will not disappear on account of the iPad, but its an important step forward. Just as the iPod delivered the ability to carry around hundreds of CDs worth of music in a small device, the iPad will allow consumers to keep books, movies, pictures, magazines, newspapers and important personal documents on a device that is the perfect size to view them.

And even though consumers are not as excited about the device, because they expected more features, iPad represents a major change in news consumption from what is, to what will be.
