Well after all the hype and expectation it's finally here - the iPad had arrived! I'm a huge fan of all things Apple however due to financial constraints I am limited to my only interaction with them being my iPhone. So when the iPad was announced I was naturally a bit intrigued and as with most people I was keen for a 'go'. Thankfully Phil (Fredspoon) had decided to take the plunge and preordered one which arrived yesterday - so last night I got to have a 'go'. Did I like it? Yes I did! Would I buy one? - No I wouldn't! It is an amazing piece of gadgetary however despite the size there's not a huge amount of difference between the ipad and iPhone! If I was somebody who spent a lot of time travelling on public transport I'd maybe consider it, but not yet! For the moment my iphone and home laptop cover all my needs -even with my sausage fingers I can still dance round the iPhone keyboard and hit almost all of the right letters!
One major thing that put me off being really tempted was the cost - for the price of the ipad I could also get a pretty decent spec Windows laptop - not that I'd want one but just saying!
I think I'll hold fire for a year until Apple bring out iPad v2, who knows it may have a camera, it may do Flash, it may sync with the iPhone making a behemoth of a gadget - who knows!
I am however very much looking forward to the new iPhone which with hopefully be unleashed by Mr Jobs on 7th July - will I be getting one? - I think I will!
