let me first say: the iPad is simply fucking incredible.
and yes, I got one. and I didn't go to an apple store on the day of and wait in line.
I pre-ordered and it was delivered to my door on saturday morning. nice.
let me also say / I am not one of those types that has to be the first to buy something new and techie and shiny. usually, I wait.
but not for this.
I have owned it now for nearly a full 24 hours and it still amazes me.
there is nothing I find disappointing about the iPad at all.
I thought the lack of a flash player would kind of suck, but not so much.
the book reader is crazycool.
reading through the classic winnie the pooh / the illustrations and typography are spot on as a printed book. and there is something very smooth of watching the pages turn with a swipe of your finger.
and I enjoyed watching a HD movie last night. sound quality and the visual sharpness were pretty damn amazing.
and this morning / sipping coffee and reading through the different newspapers available was so. damn. cool.
the thing is / my laptop died last year. I don't have an iPhone. I do have an iPod Touch, which I absolutely love. and with the iPad, it takes the place of a need for a laptop. or home desktop. I spend 8-10 hours each day at work on a computer / it's nice to go home and not be on a computer but still do the things I need to do on a computer. and the large touch screen, it's just so .... nice. there was a point where I thought, maybe I should wait for the second generation model, you know, "let it work out the kinks" first ... but I just thought fuck it. get it now. price was reasonable. and I didn't want a 3G model, wifi is just fine. not interested in having to pay for a monthly plan, especially with stupid AT&T ... so. there it is.
go get yourself one.
