Just five years?  Wow.  Seems like another lifetime.  Would hate to have to live without it.

Happy 5th Birthday, iPad!

Five years ago today –– that would be January 27, 2010 –– Apple and then-CEO Steve Jobs introduced the world to the iPad: A tablet device that many dismissed as just a a blown-up version of the iPhone.

The criticisms were loud and voluminous. Popular tech site Gizmodo published a list of "8 things that suck about the iPad," including its lousy keyboard and lack of support for Adobe Flash. Others simply mocked the funny name, which reminded many of a feminine product.

Boy, were they wrong.

Apple went on to sell millions upon millions of these things. Two years later, the company spun off a "mini," 9.7-inch version of the original iPad, which, six versions later, still sits at 9.7 inches. The iPad mini became an instant hit, overtaking the full-size iPad in sales numbers for a period of time

iPad's latest chapter is its Air series. Channeling the company's MacBook Air line, the first iPad Air was introduced in 2013 to glowing reviews as a stunningly thin and speedy version of the original.
