Just try to pry my beloved iPhone from my hands. I dare you! But I’m not exactly ready to drink more of Apple’s punch when it comes to the iPad. And according to Crimson Hexagon who analyzed the content of more than half a million tweets after the iPad announcement, I am not alone. Just over half of the tweeters seemed disappointed in Apple’s unveiling of the iPad.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s an amazing device and I really, really want to love it. It’s sleek and beautiful and I’d wrap one up in my arms in mere seconds if given the chance. But I’m just not convinced that I NEED the iPad. If I already have a laptop and an iPhone, is there really a need for me to have one? Here’s the quick list of the features that have me drooling, but somehow still hesitant to whip out my credit card and order one:

1. 9.7-inch LCD touch-screen display – No more squinting to read emails and look at websites! My eyes will thank you, Apple!

2. iPhone apps run on it – Meaning I don’t have to start all over with another system. I’d be lying if I don’t admit that I’m curious to hear how the fart app would play on the iPad. Playing that app in staff meetings may eventually get me fired, but it’s well worth it!

3. Larger keyboard – I don’t have to feel like an awkward giant anymore!

4. iWork – These apps are selling for only $10 each and include: Keynote, Numbers and Pages. I’m thinking these have great potential for client meetings.

5. Gaming – Hey, we all need breaks, right? I say Bring on the Need for Speed – anything to get me pumped up for my daily commute home!

Even after that list of drool-worthy features, I’m still finding it hard to go gaga over the iPad. And I’m truly sad about that! Apple, please prove me wrong!

What are your thoughts on the new iPad? I wanna hear the good and the bad on this one!
