The Family

Just a quick check.. anyone here have any invites they could forward on?

I just thought I would say that we now have an iPad. And that we are enjoying it. We will do a review later.

A few things about the iPad now that we have been using it for a while.
1) typing large amounts of text is not that easy when you do not have the feedback of a keyboard. I did not think that i would miss the feedback of real keys as ouch as do.
2) the platform does get out of the way when you are doing something. essentially, it becomes all about the application.
3) pinch to zoom is nice and it makes me sad that apple patened the tech; then again, it does keep people tied to apple products.
4) for someone using the iPad as a computer replacement is going to have a hard time unless there are apps that fulfill their specific needs. I will not be doing work from home with it any time soon.
