My iPad came yesterday and here are some thoughts on it so far:
1) looks gorgeous – the screen is pretty, icons and graphics are sharp. iPhone scaled up look a little grainy which makes you want to only use iPad specific apps when available
2) vs. laptop – I haven’t felt the need to use my laptop as much since the large screen is excellent for browsing and apps make up for other things I would be looking up. The laptop still has it’s place since it’s faster to use IMO plus i still use it to convert my DVDs to digital
3) games – there have been a couple of games that are totally like digital crack. We Rule & Godfinger are 2 that I’m playing right now (username: jsbeam). I’m planning to try plants vs zombies next since I’ve heard a lot of good things about it.
4) news – I might actually start keeping up with the news more often b/c of the quality of the news apps available. They have color, easily readable, and videos that make you want to look at stories
And that’s just from day 1. I’ll probably enter more after some more time with it.
