I have this feeling that owning an iPad is a little like having a newborn baby. In the first month or two, wherever you go you get stopped by people who make nice noises about it. The sad thing is, you get used to the attention, it is almost addictive.
I fully expect that once the iPad is more widely available, this will cease abruptly. Also, in places like the US where Kindles and other readers are more commonplace, they are probably noticed far less. And I suppose is larger cities and countries it is pretty uncool to talk to strangers and everyone has made an art of ignoring everyone else. It's not like that in New Zealand.
Examples:
- I was amazed to see an Apple store in Albany stocked iPad accessories, and while I was trying one on for size, a lady could not resist asking about it.
- I showed up at my daughter's dentist, without the iPad, but because he knew I had one he couldn't resist having a chat about getting one for his parents. I never expected to be the iPad guy even without the iPad.
It will be fun while it lasts.
