I received the iPad on Friday last week. With a rainy and snowy weekend, there were good opportunities to try it out.
My take away so far is likely not much different than many. It is a good device for reading especially off the internet – things like newsfeeds etc. I find I can skim through news feeds, Facebook status updates, Twitter etc. Much more quickly than with a mouse and keyboard combo.
I find the typing to be really tough. I am normally a touch typist but now must do 2 finger to avoid huge errors.
I am travelling to Oslo Norway later this week. It is a very short trip and I am debating taking just the iPad. We will see.

Hmmm. Thanks Tim. I’m debating on an ipad or netbook to reduce the amount of paper for school. I like that reading is easier on the ipad, but I will want to type notes, etc. Let me know how it goes!
