The iPad era turns 10

Note: This story has not been updated for several years.

It’s the tenth anniversary of the iPad’s announcement. Here are some links for your enjoyment:

• This week’s Upgrade goes into detail about the iPad’s legacy over the past 10 years.

• Last week I wrote my Macworld column about how the software story laid out 10 years ago today is what ensured the iPad’s success.

• Stephen Hackett re-watched the iPad intro video and gave his commentary, which is a fun way to revisit that day.

• John Voorhees wrote a great article about the hype and hysteria leading up to the launch at MacStories.

• And for kicks, you can peek ahead to April and read my review of the original iPad at Macworld.
