(And...Captain Tokyo!?!)The iPad is now a focus of interest in Japan.
But as time goes by, it will be a common gear everyone uses according to needs.
As long as mankind uses characters, letters, figures, symbols, pictures, and documents as a means to manage things and thoughts, a device for handling information will continue to progress.
But, if a man can be happy to have a cellular phone, everybody in the world must be happy now.
The ratio of happy people vs. unhappy people in society cannot be changed with progress of technology.
Rather to win competition, many people are trying to get the most advanced and sophisticated tools for business.
Anyway, in a few years, more progress will be achieved in iPad type devices.
Then, believers in the world might come to see more clearly whether those high-tech devices are blessed by the God or not.
Today, I just used it in a nearby computer shop. It was slower (in its response) than my request being issued without much thinking...
And, I found a digital camera (optical X 15) on sale which is made by "GE" and priced at less than 20,000 yen! Baby, it is a GE!!...it looked like being heaven-sent around Tokyo.
