The new iPad. Is it worth the hype?

08 March 2012 | 17:04 - By Ricardo Goncalves

Sometimes the media cops a bit of flack for doing stories about certain products like Apple's iPad, but the truth is, the iPad in particular is a game changer.

It's a gadget that has carved out its own market and product category, and has seen sales sky rocket despite the global economic downturn.

In fact 55 million iPads have been sold since the device came to market in 2010 bringing in sales of more than $20billion.

Overnight, Apple unveiled the new verison iPad, but is it worth the hype?

But why?

There is no explanation as to "why" it's a 'game-changer'... it's just extremely popular.. what are its uses (if any)? Not up to Ricardo's usual level of professionalism if you ask me.
