The Amazing iPad…

After a long day at work, Tasha and I went out to dinner and then headed to the Apple Store to finally test out the iPad.

It’s a pretty amazing little device… I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did.  The screen is gorgeous, but the most compelling feature of the thing is the apps.  The ones on the demo unit really made great use of the extra screen size, and the gestures to control everything gave the whole unit a very comprehensive, tactile feel.  One of the things I was most worried about was the typing… but I was pleasantly surprised there as well.  I was able to type a few sentences with no real problems.

It was as I suspected… after getting to use one of these I want one more than I expected.  Tasha’s going to get one next month out of her spending money, and I’m thinking about it as well.
