Ok well the day arrived. I can’t quite figure out what the ipad is for. I still need to carry my iPhone for phone calls. I still need to carry my MacBook Pro for real software — Matlab, Mathematica, Aperture, LaTEX-heavy docs. I’ll still carry the Kindle for its awesome battery life. Would I carry the iPad as well??? Or are there occasional trips where I’d carry instead of the MacBook Pro?
Or maybe it is for the couch at home. But usually I again need to run real software. So what is this thing for?
So I only ordered one.
Can’t wait to hear what you think of it, given that you’re approaching it with an appropriately skeptical bias.
Thank goodness for you early adopters!
I have the reverse. I have the bias it is all I’m going to use mainly because I don’t use my laptop for anything but browsing, reading email. Basically, I don’t do much document creation or game playing anymore on a laptop. It’s why the netbook for me (if they didn’t have such crappy screens and horrible mice would be good).
clearly if all you are doing is browsing and email, a netbook or ipad seems like an awesome solution. i am doing a ton of pdf reading over the next two months in support of thesis work and am going to try it as a pdf tool rather than printing everything.
