Will the iPad take us completely paperless?

The much anticipated iPad will make it's techno-world splash this weekend (April 3, 2010), however, the number of those to get wet by the device, is still yet to be determined.  Any good Sci-Fi movie teaches us, that "too much technology" can sometimes and in most cases kill those that it was designed to help.  As a blogger/sports writer, I can find many potential uses for this new device but so far I'm still not sold, yet. 

Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad in January, showing off a tablet computer with a 9.7-inch (25-centimeter) touch screen that can serve up Web pages, e-mail, music, videos, games, electronic books and iPhone applications. (Business Week)  


Although the device is bigger and more powerful than a smartphone but smaller and less powerful than a laptop, what it lacks in power and performance it makes up in simplicity and fun.  Computerworld writer MIke Elglan believes the unit will be huge. " I'm no fanboy," he said. "I've tried to envision some conceivable series of events that might leave the iPad as only moderately successful, but I can't come up with any. All circumstances, facts and events in technology, media and elsewhere seem to point to the same inexorable outcome: The iPad will be huge."
