The Apple iPad is an innovative computing tablet that is expected to cause a substantial ripple in information technology in the area of notebooks and wireless communications. Its allure lies in its technological innovations, purported to provide the ultimate web and computing experience in a simple, portable package. Brand loyalty among Apple customers will certainly make up the bulk of initial sales, and the innovative design will lure many new customers, but will the iPad redefine computing and telecommunication standards sufficiently to garner a following of investors and IT developers, or does Apple's initial success represent an unsustainable spike in sales?
