Got my iPad and case this morning. It’s a surprise to see how small it really is. Not bad small, but from the pics on the internet, I just thought it would be bigger. The iPad is really a beauty, the screen’s rich colours really stand out. The weight isn’t an issue for me, even if some reviewers thought it was a tad bit heavy. It’s much lighter than any other similar device out there.
I’ve tested out a few apps and I’m pretty impressed. The iBook and Amazon Kindle apps two which I will definitely use. I’ve bought a few ebooks from both stores already and I can see myself reading more because of the iPad. In terms of the look and feel of ebooks, the iBook app is much better than compared with the Kindle app.
Comics is another medium which I will be using the iPad for. The Marvel app is really cool. I also got another app from the App store which allows me to upload my collection of eComics. The iPad is really the next big thing for comics. It’s perfect just scrolling thru the pages and zooming in and out with just a flick of the fingers.
Sure, there are some aspects of the iPad which can definately be improved, and I’m sure the new iPhone OS 4 being announced tonight will fix some of those. But even then, the iPad is an excellent device and it really does open up a whole new way of consuming media. I also think it’s the best device for my mom to use to check her email and do some basic surfing.
