My thoughts on the iPad so far.
Well it’s been a few days since I received my iPad, my initial thoughts when opening the box was wow it really is a giant iPhone, it is also heavier than I expected as well.
I’m struggling to find a day to day use for the iPad, it’s great for using whilst in front of the TV or in Bed in the morning to check emails / browse the internet but apart from that I have not used it much yet.
Maybe it’s just that there are not many good iPad applications out there at the moment, I have downloaded the WordPress iPad application but it seems rather limited, there is also no Facebook application, calculator or clock application.
How is everyone else getting on with the iPad in the UK?
Just a thought, but personally I tend to find that when I’m not developing stuff or processing orders I’m really bored and all I seem to do is look at my email and a few websites. Perhaps google, facebook and ebay.
So I guess, dare I say like you, I’m not a typical user, who uses computers for fun and browsing website. Most users won’t, at least initially, be using the iPad to do work with.
Just my two cents.
I find myself using the iPad a lot at the moment. It has been fantastic wheat networking events. Instead of trying to describe to someone how Social media works or Google Analytics I can show them. It is incredibly powerful.
At home it is almost a complete netbook replacement. I do not have a home office so the portability and quick easy use makes it ideal.
Bought one today and Im so stoked… dont know how i could have been without it for so long ;D right now its just surfing the web, getting apps installed (e.g. Getpocket). Maybe there’ll be more cases for using it later… Or maybe the “its so awsum!!!” feeling gets by soon. Anyways i like your site, great looking on my ipad3
cheers
