Stuff - Best gadget of the year 2010
Am I really the only one who doesn't really 'get' the iPad? I played with one for about a minute in the Apple shop. It's a nice-ish piece of kit and I might get one if they improved it a bit and charged about £100. To pay £500 or so for it you'd have to be completely mad surely?
My theory is that noone who has actually shelled out for one of these dare actually say that they are slightly disappointed with what they got for their money or they will look a knob.
As for 'gloriously indispensable' that's pushing it a bit.
I'll say up front I've got an Android phone and I have exactly the same feelings about the rival Android tabs so it's not an Android / iPhone thing.
Apple has won a best gadget award for its iPad, beating the Amazon Kindle and Sky 3D to two titles.
The iPad was crowned Gadget of the Year and Readers' Gadget of the Year in the 2010 Stuff Gadget Awards.
"The iPad's success was by no means pre-ordained. It's expensive and functionally limited," Stuff magazine editor and judge Fraser Macdonald said.
"But it is also quite gloriously indispensable and only making itself more so with the increasing number of apps and accessories. To see it is to want it, and that's why it's our gadget of the year."
