11.gifJust got my new iPad. The UPS guy came huffing up to my door at 11:00 am AZ time to drop it off. He told me he had delivered 120 so far this morning in my area and he had another 120 yet to deliver. The he ran back to his truck. I unpacked the iPad (32GB) and hooked it up. A friend stopped over to drool on it. It fired right up and logged on to the 3T forum. I still haven't taken the plastic off. Pictures below are right out of the box.

I thought about getting one. But may just wait for the 2ed generation. So what are your first impresions of the iPad Mike?

It's still charging it up. First impression is that the screen resolution is higher than my iTouch and it is much faster. It feels a bit heavier than I expected also. I downloaded Amazon's Kindle app for it to buy books and Netflix for TV and Movies. So far, it is pretty impressive.

Thanks. This is a device made mostly for consumption rather than creating content. But, that is exactly what I want. This format (others have "pads" coming too) is going to grow and no doubt become less expensive. Given that the first iPOD cost nearly $600 when it was introduced, this isn't too costly for first-adopters like me.  BTW, iWork is available for the iPad for doing lite word processing, keynote presentations and lite spreadsheets. Supports .doc and .pdf also. Attachment: iwork_20100403.jpg (Downloaded 61 times)

Very cool Mike. Have fun with that. Looks very cool. I'm curious how long it will be before we are all on touchscreens. Years undoubtedly but this very well may be the beginning, no? Thank goodness for early adopters like you!

Right now I think the iPad is just the new toy out there, I'm usually the guy to always get the first one on the street...probably going to hold off on this one for awhile....like you said Mike this is a device for consumption not creation. I have a Dell Mini 9 NetBook that I use for my every day business computer, I love it..it's small (can actually easily use it on a plane and not take up the entire tray table, it is light weight and does not take up a lot of room in my briefcase (allowing me to fit more watches in it) and it does everything i need it to do.

I held of on the pre-order for I wanted to see if Verizon wireless was going to get the iPhone in March as rumored. Did not happen. Now I'm just waiting to see what shows up good in the next 4 to 6 weeks. Contract is up May 14th. What do I want to do? But already boosted my home network with a new PC and a Laptop. And new ISP too. yahoo.gif

Hey Skip, Verizon was never going to have the iPhone in March, it was always planned for Q4 of this year...the reason is Apple is not scheduled to release the CDMA version of the iPhone until October, the only iPhone available today is GSM and Verizon is a CDMA system...from everything I have read we (meaning Verizon customers) will have iPhones by the end of the year. I'm holding off on my free upgrade until they come out.

Yea that is what I was reading about Verizon and the iPhone yesterday. Not going to wait that long. This LG Dare piece of crap is driving me nuts. Not going to do a spur of the moment buy again either. Just as with watches, research, research research. LOL A friend told me he had a iPad arriving Monday so will check it out Monday night.
