I bought an iPad 1 as my first Apple product and was enthralled with what it can do. Now have the new iPad and may well switch to an iMac when it's time to replace my desktop.

As an aside, I am now reading Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs.... What a fascinating history of the development of the Home computer and the evolution of Apple as a company. So many of their innovations were originated by Jobs or driven by him. A difficult but brilliant man. If you read the book, you will see the level of detail and perfection that goes into how Apple designs products. It was also interesting to read the parallel development of Microsoft products and Jobs off and on dealings with Bill Gates. I'm only up to the iPod period now...iPhone and iPad still to come.
