Chris Pirillo is one of the original geeks if you ask me.  He has been involved the tech world for many years and takes a unique spin on all things geek.  That being said, we really thought he had some interesting points in his recent youtube installation comparing some pros and cons of the Apple iPad.  Since Apple will be releasing the iPad in the United States as early as Tuesday of next week, you need to start thinking about how serious you are going to be about trying to get your hands on one.

The iPad Is Bigger, But Is It Better Than The iPhone?

The concept of Apple iPad is ideal, but I wonder how truly useful it will be.  If you already own a laptop and an iPhone, what are the benefits of buying yet another device?  Some people think that this device will replace others, but even though 5 times bigger than it’s little brother the iPhone, there are no cell phone capabilities, no camera and of course as we all have heard, no Adobe Flash player availability.

Is The iPad Just Cool Or Is It Usable As A Productivity Gadget Too?

If you are looking for something cool, you can’t go wrong with this sweet device, but if you are looking for something to use for productivity apps, you may need to look elsewhere.  The iPad is going to offer the iWork suite, so you can get some work done on the road, but we just don’t know about computing and writing full length documents without a real keyboard. All Apple Apps that are currently available for the iPhone and iPod Touch will be ready for you to use once you get your hands on this new addition to the apple family.

So Is The iPad Going To Find It’s Way Into Your Travel Bag?

Well, there are ups and downs but overall we think that the iPad is one hot tech gadget!  Stay tuned on the TechBloq for more updates on the Apple iPad.  Go ahead and leave us a comment and let us know if you are going to get one for yourself below.
