My first 30 min with the iPad

Well I did it, i broke down (on day one) and got an iPad. I’ve not had a whole lot of time with it yet, and haven’t been been able to install the two apps I most looked forward to (Stanza and Pagaes), but still I have to admit that I already love it.

I’m writing this post on my iPad as a matter of fact (while my desktop iTunes finally gets the latest updates applied). Blogging from my iPhone never really worked for me despite there being ‘an app for that’. Typing on the iPad however is indeed very nice. In landscape mode the keyboard is very very usable. I can totally see myself using this to blog, and work on longer documents.

This was one of the main reasons I wanted to go with the iPad over other readers I was considering. (I was already in the ereader market, but having one that could also let me work on word docs and blog etc was a killer feature for me)

Oooh my Mac is ready to sync up with the iPad and send my ebooks over to it – gotta run. I’ll blog more about this later.
