Users love them and can't stop buying them!




       According to the American Consumer Satisfaction Index in September 2010, the iPad is the highest-scoring product that a leading consumer satisfaction index has ever tracked. The overall PC industry also reached a new high score with 78 out of 100 points. In regards to Apple's newest release the iPad, consumers ranked their satisfaction so high, Apple had a score of 86!

       Either you love Apple technology or you hate it. I am fortunately one who loves it! My boyfriend recently bought an iPad and he cannot get off of it. He takes it to work to read articles for school, he keeps track of his fantasy football on Sundays, he can look up anything and share it with a crowd of people. At first he was against my Apple notebook, then he fell in love with everything Apple.
       The iPad is such a craze all over the world that when it went on sale in countries like Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK it was reported that lines were outrageous. People spend the night outside of Apple stores to be one of the first ones to buy one. I know this is a popular trend for people into specific things such as the release of sports jerseys and novels, or great sales. The iPad is one of the most recent clever productions. It enables an entirely different world of communication and technology to consumers all over the world.
To learn about iPads or purchase one, visit the Apple store.
