A few quick thoughts about the iPad (unimaginatively titled) before I go to sleep:
- It feels like the future. The screen is crazy crisp and gorgeous, the iPad is as responsive as everyone says it is
- iPhone apps on the iPad are ok but not great. I’m going to use a dedicated app pretty much whenever possible.
- Netlfix on the iPad is brilliant but basically the web UI
- The larger screen really does make the web browsing experience unbelievable. The speed of the processor means that i can basically touch type on the digital widescreen keyboard.
- The Wall Street Journal app (you need a WSJ subscription to use it) is one of the most innovative presentations of news I’ve seen so far.
- I wish it had a camera.
- It can’t replace a laptop because there’s no real file management (i.e. I can’t upload a picture to this blog post via the web interface)
