*Battery life depends on device settings, usage and other factors. Actual results vary.

Apple ignited the personal computer revolution with the Apple II, then reinvented the personal computer with the Macintosh. Apple continues to lead the industry with its award-winning computers, OS X operating system, and iLife, iWork and professional applications. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store, has reinvented the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and has recently introduced its magical iPad which is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices.

早上上班就赶紧上网看了这个家伙，感觉很失望。真是期望越高，失望越大啊。

后来仔细想想，iPad能用于什么呢?

1. 浏览大量网页，少量输入。(回家后不用开台机或笔记本，浏览体验很好。)
2. Mail处理。(处理邮件，从演示上看，将有效提高输入效率。唯一的问题是如何添加你放在工作电脑上的文件作为附件。)
3. 日程安排。(很爱iPad演示中的日程展示方式。)
4. 阅读电子书籍。(iPhone上阅读功能已经实现的差不多了，iPad阅读PDF正好。)
5. 游戏。(娱乐常是我们让我们最终下单的原因。呵呵。)

上面这些应用，就是我比较关注的用途，能满足我的需求，重点是使用时间，是否能像官方所说的使用10小时。如果可以做到，我是愿意购买。
