The keyboard is fine. Something I hadn’t considered is that in portrait mode, the iPad is still small enough to type with your thumbs. Not as easy as the iPhone, mind you, but not bad. In landscape mode, typing with three or four fingers per hand is quite easy. I’ll say the same thing I always say to new iPhone users: don’t fight it, and learn to trust the auto-correct.
I’m typing this on my iPad, by the way.The processor is indeed fast. So much so that you soon forget about it. As Ihnatko has suggested, it’s easy to forget you are using a computer. Non-native iPad app experience is not good. Pixel doubling looks bad. Jumbo UI is even worse. Developers should make a strong effort to get a native version out as soon as they can. Otherwise, people will move on to alternatives. A good iPad native app now is better than a perfect one later.
Dropbox needs to get an iPad version out soon, and it needs to allow me to transfer my drop box files to the iWork apps. That will be nirvana.
iBooks will inspire me to read more. Amazon producing an iPad native app was a very smart move. Perhaps I will still consider buying the occasional book from Amazon, if it’s not available on iBooks. Still wish I had an easier way to switch between email inboxes. Switching back to iPhone after using this for a few hours makes the iPhone seem TINY. Weird experience.More to come later. Let’s just say that I’m very impressed with this thing.
