The iPad was developed as a `` fundamental new computer under $ 500 (about 45,000 yen at that time) '' requested by Steve Jobs when returning to Apple, but as of 2010 announcement already iPhone 3GS It is sold, and there are also voices such as 'iPad is just a big iPhone' 'Who needs an iPad?'
In fact, Zeier also stated, 'I was surprised that Apple's tablet (iPad) was very simple.' But he was immediately fascinated by the iPad. After actually touching the test terminal and checking the iPad, Zeier purchased his own iPad after returning the test machine.
Mr. Zeier, who got the iPad, initially complained that the iPad can only be activated from a PC with an iTunes account and commented, 'I could not believe it as an Android user.' Also, the first iPad could not open multiple apps at the same time and did not support Flash , but Zeier used the iPad to read countless newspapers and books on the commuter train I recall that.

When the iPad was launched, Zeier pointed out that the media industry had a 'gold rush-like feel'. Rupert Murdoch , a global media king, said that the iPad was expected to replace the newspapers and bring a revolution and digitization to reading, such as launching a news app for the iPad called 'The Daily'.
In addition, Zeier said that the mood of the gold rush was not only in the related industry but also in Apple itself, and the sale of the iPad itself was also for the first few years, such as releasing the successor iPad 2 immediately in 2011. It was very good.
