It's refined, sleek and chic. It's also the talk of the tech world, for both dubious critics and drooling early adopters. It's a genius (cameraless) cross between a laptop and iPhone, but will people really buy the iPad? This guy did and he claims to be the first iPad user in Korea! I ran into him with my Korean journalist friend, Jenn, in a coffee shop in downtown Seoul. She recognized him from an interview she did for her paper, Chosun, about the iPad. The UC Irvine econ student got it just two or three days after the April 3 American release date, and let us hold it and make a scene checking it out. Whether he's really the first Korean with an iPad is up for debate, but I liked how online articles looked on the shiny touchscreen.
