@DrKoob No problem. I am lusting after an iPad but have to wait for 3G. Reading everything I can find on it. That’s my experience
@liseski my iPad experience in 140 characters or less? Easy. Not in Canada yet 🙁
@Madmotion how about a photo http://bit.ly/cH6u1j
HeidiAmes 15yo dragged me to hellosmalldog to see iPad. Oh boy. Tried to retain my usual nonchalant attitude, but secretly, I WANTED ONE.

Travis Harris First impression of iPad.. is to wait. No flash support in Safari, No external ports, and a non wide screen display.. Not clear, who the target audience is? But, my photography does look incredible on it..
George Brownfield Yes – very impressive product! My wife has been using it for hours.
Nancy Ashworth I love mine! Arrived about noon on Saturday. Synced a couple movies, tv shows, music and photos. Bought a book (to see how that workds). Apps bought and loaded. Twenty minutes later I was snug as a bug in a rug with a mug of hot tea and a copy of Sense and Sensibility (free book!) on my lap. WONDERFUL! I’m not looking for high techiness. Mostly just wanted a good ereader. I’ve used the iBook program AND the Kindle for iPad. I love iBook more — turning the page is an art form in itself! I’ve found all the books I teach in Western Lit. I had heard about back-lighting issues and such, but playing with the adjustments (Accessibility has a button to turn the black/white screen) lessened any residual glow and I read myself to sleep last night without bugging my darling husband. I bought a vga adapter so I can do Keynote presentations in the classroom. I can’t wait to go on vacation without lugging all the books I like to read (usually bring about six books — one to finish, one to start, and a few in case I realize the books I brought suck… ha ha ha). I’ve had no issues with wi-fi or recharging. Apps from my iPhone work fine — even Bejeweled2 (just hit the 2x button). As you can read, I am HAPPY!
Debby C. I love Weatherbug, Star Walk (beautiful night sky/constellations, IMDB… loaded ePub and PDF books (ReaddleDocs reader), downloaded Jane Austen also! Safari is a bit buggy with some sites where it works on Mac OS X. Otherwise, email, maps, twitterific, makes it one hot device! Small book stand purchased for $12 at Staples holds it very nicely upright on the desk, as well as purchased a $20 netbook case. Loving it!
Michael B. I’m LOVING my iPad. It arrived on Saturday, and I’ve added close to four pages of apps (mostly free; however, I did purchase Pages). I teach English and would love to have a true word processing app that is more in line with what I’m used to using. Pages is okay, but it needs some additional functionality to make it appropriate for teachers. I see the Blackboard has an app. Unfortunately, my school uses D2L. An app there would be perfect!
Robert B. my interest is over against One Laptop Per Child, a few of which we use in after-school public tutoring program for mostly children of immigrants Yesterday at 1:13pm · · Report
