At a Google event in Paris earlier this week, the search giant broke the news that they would soon be offering iPad users the chance to view and edit Google Docs from within the browser. They’ve also been hard at work on collaborative editing of Microsoft Office documents via Google Docs too.

A device can produce a great user experience and still be a flop, BEING a great device, *does not* make it a winner by default. Nor do people need to “actually use an ipad for a large amount of time.” to know if they are going to like it or not.

I say it is a flop because you are once again tied into the Apple ecosystem. I need go no further than that closed off, proprietary setup to declare any of their products still using it, a huge failure. I’ve used an iPad and really enjoy the device, it’s not for me but the hardware and software package is really tight and really polished.

That said, it’s useless for me. I already have a mobile computer (Nokia N900) that can do so much more than an iPad. Why do I need to spend that much money on something bigger, heavier, with less functionality and limited potential? Not to mention it’s still tied into that closed off system that I want no part of.

It’s another Apple product that will fall into the niche consumer market, just like the iPhone has done since 2007. It WILL sell, because it’s great for business’s to say “Look how cool we are!” and the rest of the people looking to make a statement, but saying it’s not a flop isn’t looking at the facts in an unbiased manner.

I find most of the people who say it isn’t a flop are based in the United States and haven’t really had their eyes opened to, you know..the rest of the world?

Too many people are declaring that the ipad is a flop. I find that the majority of those people have never actually used an ipad for a large amount of time. To be fair, on paper the ipad does not seem to be a gadget that can be particulary helpful. However once you get an i-pad you quickly change your tune.

Yes, i agree that the ipad won’t take over from my macbook pro but it’s perfect for conferences, trains and for the times when i don’t want to lug a big laptop around the city.

I believe it’s not a flop. Though it’s getting mixed reviews, once you own or try the iPad you are really immersed into this new gadget that you can’t take your hands off.
