First impressions from (not) my iPad

April 3, 2010   by  

This is the part where I teach myself how to type on this iPad device. makes you wonder how well I’ll do when it comes to waiting for mine to arrive in late April due to the fact that I waited for the 3G version. So far I’m finding that I can type quite well in landscape mode, and quite fast, using about fingers totals, but not do fast in portrait mode (the opposite of how it is with my iPhone, by the way).

LOVING this iPad so far in my brief tests. Too bad it’s not mine. I still feel pretty strongly about having made the right decision to wait, as I don’t want my iPad to turn into a pumpkin the minute I leave the house with it and can’t find wifi. your mileage may vary.

Did I mention that I love this thing? Some aspects of it are even irelymore advanced that I was expecting, while others are more 1.0-ish than I might have hoped. I’ll leave Beatweek’s official review to Daynah, but suffice it to say that I’m looking forward to my 3G iPad in late April even more than I was before.

Fun fact: typo auto-correction is excellent, seemingly far more efficient than on the iPhone, but when I mistyped “finding” it did humorously try to change it to “fonduing” :-)
