@BasicAppleGuy Feels like yesterday.
@BasicAppleGuy My iPad 2 is still working! :) It takes its time to boot but is still in great shape!
@BasicAppleGuy I dismissed it at the time as an oversized phone you couldn't make calls on, and little has changed since then
For the cost and size I still prefer a laptop for anything but media consumption (videos and books, I listen to music with my phone)
@BasicAppleGuy I still have iPad 1st gen in good working condition with original case.
@BasicAppleGuy yeah and they haven't invented anything since
@BasicAppleGuy To this day, the original iPad is the highest scoring iPad on our repairability score. Apple still doesn't provide them with spare parts or documentation, like they do with iPhones. Maybe one day!
@BasicAppleGuy And hence the "iphone, ipad, ipod, ipaid cartoon was born".
@BasicAppleGuy I remember lots of mockery over the name. The iPad didn't catch immediate fire like the iPhone.
Sad to see Steve already so skinny at that point.
@BasicAppleGuy there are lots of people on this planet who don’t know life without an iPad. Or can even imagine it.
@BasicAppleGuy They announced the iPad about three months before shipping it. In the interim, I had jury duty. That’s when I *got* the iPad. The juror lobby was so packed and cramped, even a 13-inch MacBook was too big. Especially if all you wanted to do was watch various “court” episodes of Star Trek.
@BasicAppleGuy Best I can give you is 10 years, tops.
