I got to play with the iPad yesterday finally.
It is nice what surprised me was the speed. But after a hour of playing with it I was not overwhelmed by it as I hoped. The only thing that appealed to me was the iBooks app and the Kindle app which of course will keep me busy with it if I ever got one, but as fast as the browser was many of the sites I go to are not made for iPad (but like I said before I wouldn't use it for browsing). Though Mobile Read looked great. The reason that really got me thinking not getting it is that I felt like I am just holding my iPhone that received a Super Mario Mushroom and got bigger.
It is really slick it is. Everything is fast but not something I can see myself personally using all the time. Though Magazines from Zinio looked great, Winnie The Pooh looked really good in iBooks (only lag was loading the pictures from the book; page turning was swift!).
Maybe if I had the chance to play some games, maybe I would of had a different view, but this was under the companies account so I couldn't go around downloading N.O.V.A. lol.
Honestly if this was cheaper, I get it as an e-reader alone, but it hasn't convinvce me to get it just yet. Maybe a killer app will it to change my mind.
