It’s finally happened – not one, but two iPads spotted in the wild on my rail commute home.
They might be increasingly common in media and marketing circles, and in that swanky London place, but my benchmark has been when they start being used normally on the train. And while one ended up as a discussion piece, the other was used for some iPad gaming for the whole journey as far as I could see.
A quick headcount saw it still outnumbered by BlackBerries and iPhones, but I’m sure I’ll be seeing more on a daily basis.
I’m still holding out against buying one though – I still believe it’s primarily a consumption device rather than a creation device.
The interesting thing will be resuming the tech-spotting when Android tablets arrive…
