First, wow. Such an utterly silent yet fast computer. I find myself waiting on my iPhone all the time; no such problem with the iPad. And the immersive quality of the experience of working with this thing is indescribable.
Before I ladle the praise on too heavily, however, I must point out one possibly killer flaw: ergonomics.
I'm trying to find someplace in my house where I can comfortably type out this post, for example, and not having much luck.
My glasses are too small. When I'm reclining, the iPad naturally falls below their coverage range.
If I hold it with my palms against my bent legs as I recline and type, I can see and type well enough, even touch typing to a remarkable degree, but there must be a better way.
Perhaps a case or the keyboard dock will make the difference. Both should arrive this week.
Other general comments:
- iPhone apps aren't satisfying at all. Functional, but I spend as little time as possible using them.
- Did I mention how fast this thing is?
- Web browsing is a much more fulfilling experience than on an iPhone. I'm no longer looking through a tiny peephole at the splendor of the Internet.
