There is no doubt about it any longer… tomorrow’s release of the Apple iPad represents a revolution in Information Technology.  The reviews are starting to roll in and unanimously anyone who has touched it has loved it.  In addition, we are see game-changing media deals that will completely revamp the way that content is delivered.  Finally, the hundred of applications already available for it – pre-release – validate that it will be the next big thing.

In the interest of full disclosure, I tell you that I have not touched an iPad yet.  If Apple wants to give me access to one, I promise to fairly and rapidly review it and post my thoughts.

First of all, no matter what you may personally think of all the hype, one cannot ignore it.  Seriously, there are over 25,000 legitimate news stories listed on Google News so far reporting on the pre-release iPad.  Think about that for a second… tens of thousands of by-lines about an object that less than a hundred have even touched.  This IS something big.

The reviews really are universally positive … from people who have touched them.  Here is a selection of the luminaries who have already fallen for the iPad:

Tomorrow, we will look at the incredible media deals from TV, books, magazines, and newspapers that Apple has secured for the iPad.

Later this week, we will look at the iPad Application store and discuss what it means to the computing world.

Please go to Apple’s Official iPad site and see for yourself, on the eve of the Tablet Age on Information Technology, what all the news is about!  Welcome to the future of computing.
