IPad culture, see it here
Apple’s iPad has been in the hands of more than 500,000 people for almost two weeks. Most of the people who have these gadgets seem to love them. But there's a big slice of the market waiting for the next version — the one with 3G wireless connectivity via AT&T — at the end of the month, or in early May. Others are waiting for an updated version, as Apple always improves its gadgets quickly. Count me in the last group.
The iPad culture is quickly evolving, as a search for "iPad" on YouTube.com will bring you hours of how-to's and kids and pets interacting with the tablet computer. My inbox is starting to get links to viral clips and images.
Some are worth sharing, so here goes:
