Holy cow, I have had this thing for a week now and I must say, I am loving it. I am adjusting to the keyboard and the auto correct, it almost makes these post look good. Again, I am blogging from the iPad through the wordpress app. A lot of these apps were developed before the iPad came out; therefore, I betcha in a month, some of these apps are going to be breathtaking.

Now and then there is a little hiccup, usually caused by an app freezing up for a moment of time. Or once the mail sending bar got stuck. But other than that, the ipad works great. Although the ipad is missing a few features, like an OS, USB, and a few little things, I went into buying this product knowing I was a tester, or guinea pig. I usually wait till second release of products, or at least for an update, but for only 500 bucks, I through caution to the wind.

Oh yes, one more thing you would not think to expect, is that I play guitar quite often an my right hand fingers there are calluses and now and then the iPad doesn’t register my index finger. Little annoying while typing.

Well, I bought the iPad. And yes, it was quite hyped up; however, for someone that does not own an iPhone, this is all new to me. I won’t bore you will all the things I wish it could do or glad it does, I will tell you how it is changing my lifestyle. I have gotten on my laptop twice since I purchased this (4 days ago). For heavy designing I have a iMac, so for Internet, podcast, and some apps I use daily (goodreader, numbers, and skygrid) this tablet is fantastic.

In addition to awesomeness, I am at 4% battery right now and I am writing this review from the word press app from the iPad. Attached is a picture I made in sketches pro. A little elementary, but a fun program.

Great job apple. So good, that I am tempted to return it and wait for the 3G model and buy the plan and have Internet everywhere…. I won’t, but am tempted. I’ll probably buy the third generation iPad. It will be a few years, but by then, it will be revolutionized, I’m sure.
