work, work, work

what? yeah, I managed to not work for a bit today, I called up Best Buy and found out that the Coralville store had received 100 iPads. WOHOO! So I scurried over there and grabbed one. So far, I love it!

I put on the iWork suite, iBook, Pandora, netflix, and many, many more.
So far, I don't see as many of the limitations being discussed.

This device can most certainly be used effectively for buisiness travel, one can edit/present documents, check/send/respond to email while having access to most forms of media, reading books, PDFs, etc. It's absolutely ideal. It's smooth, intuitive, and pleasant to use. The screen is very large and beautiful. Having adjusted to the DROID, I forgot just how nice the iPhone interface was (this is pretty much the same, just on a larger scale). Truly the only disappointment thus far, has the apps that have not yet been converted. Facebook definitely needs an upgrade, as it currently is just the iPhone facebook application (the fonts are fuzzy if it is interpolated up to fill the screen).

I'm certain I will mention the iPad in upcoming posts, both the good and the bad.

Again, no workouts of any kind today. I fear I'm falling off the wagon!

I was also able to sneak a game of settlers in with Hans, Lisa and family. Overall, is was a pretty good day.
