The IPad Is A Wicked Christmas Surprise

By Dr Herbert Hyte

Every Christmas season has a list of must have gifts which appeal to certain groups, children, teens, adults and mature people. Children might have a specific toy which everyone is getting and they simply have to have these are considered the hot gifts of that season for kids. The iPad as a hot Christmas gift is crossing those demographic lines and it seems people of all ages are finding this gift a must have.

As a rule Apple fans are hardcore and anything this company produces will get an immediate trial only to be discarded if it doesn't live up to claims. The iPad definitely was a hit with the die hard Apple product groups but it did not stop there. The iPad is drawing fans from across every age group and irregardless of their orientation toward Apple or the PC.

Naturally the initial frenzy was helped along by plenty of hype and advertising by Apple prior to their newest release. However advertising only carries a product so far after the users get their hands on it, it then lives or dies on its own merits. The iPad is thriving and more applications are being released for it every day and the its popularity is growing almost as quickly.

Of course anyone considering giving an Apple iPad as a gift should understand they are giving a small mobile device with a whole lot of applications and functions. That is great but it is not a full sized computer either. However, this doesn't seem to matter at all to most iPad users they know what it is and want what it can do.

Even the more mature users are finding an iPad one of those almost irresistible gifts they not only want to give but to receive. In part this wide appeal is due to the ease of use, the multitude of applications and the simple controls built into an iPad. IBook software will keep readers entertained while the easy controls will allow the owner to play games simply from their device.

There are many possible gifts a person could give the special people on their lists this Christmas and many of them would be loved but few will please as many as the Apple iPad. In fact this particular device was an unexpected hit, unexpected at least by everyone but Apple. If the perfect gift that spans the generations is on your list this year, the Apple iPad should be too.
