Nussey’s Take on the iPad

I admit to waiting breathlessly for the announcement of this game-changing device. I will also admit to checking my favorite news sites every 2-3 minutes throughout Steve Jobs’ announcement as each nugget of inspired product vision was doled out to the audience. I’ll even admit that I plan on buying an iPad as soon as [...]
