iPad Review — Part III, Device Usage

Wel­come to part III of my never end­ing love fest with Apple’s new iPad, in this third install­ment I am going to focus on using the device itself, mov­ing away from the apps that I talked about in the last part. First Impres­sions The first thing that you will notice when you pick up an iPad is the size, this thing really is large. I don’t know if it looks so large because I am used to an iPhone, but every­one that I have shown it to thinks it is big. Not big in... Read More

iPad Review — Part II, the Apps

I was very skep­ti­cal about the iPad when it was launched — after a cou­ple of days to think about it I went ahead and pre-ordered one. I picked it up Mon­day and have barely put it down since then.

The iPad Is Looking Productive?

I love Apple prod­ucts and I am a card car­ry­ing fan­boy, as I am sure most read­ers are well aware by now. The iPad then has me very intrigued I have come full cir­cle from want­ing the iPad, to not want­ing, back to see­ing it as a must have. I think this could be an incred­i­bly pro­duc­tive device for me, and I want to share with you why.
