Breathtaking experience and revolutionary approach are nice phrases for any marketing and advertising campaign and Apple seems to have found them spending less money than, for example, Microsoft intends to spend on its new WinPhone launch. So, does the gadget keep magic in itself, is it that wonderful that millions of people can not resist buying it and the demand for the gadget is conditioned only by the manufacturing capabilities of Apple' assembling lines?
There are different ideas concerning the point. Ardent Apple's followers will keep on insisting that being the flagman of human technologies Apple has managed to commit another breakthrough and deliver a gadget which corresponds to human inner desires and is in line with in-born human features. That's why Apple's marketers and advertisers prefer to focus on such descriptions as natural and intuitive. No doubt, it is quite natural to poke at something at least our far ancestors did it for millennia before leaving their natural habitat on trees. But later a man-like ape took a stick and turned into an ape-like man, which really was a progress.

A more rational explanation concerning the iPad success is that we all live in the society of entertainment.

The iPad is a sheer entertainment and Apple's specialists for marketing should be well appraised for finding the right trump to play with. The iPad due to its sleek design really seems magic and that has been stressed in a range of commercials prepared for the launch. What's more, all the functionalities provided by the gadget have nothing to do with serious tiresome work. It is meant for entertainment and fully justifies its mission. So, it's not surprising, the gadget has some difficulties of squeezing into the enterprise market but is heartily welcomed either by common consumers or by some businesses which later use them to entertain their customers.
