Well, I am about to find out, and those of you following my blog can too. In fact I’m typing this blog entry with one right now. It’s only spent 4 days in my care to date, but so far this weird ‘little’ thing has engendered itself to me, my kids and a couple of other people whom have had some time to really try one out, beyond a little demo at the local electronics retailer
Even if this becomes little more than an eBook reader, I feel good about the investment. I do think this will find a place in my daily technology and recreation routines.
For instance, I can say already that it’s a fantastic way to enjoy a streamed movie or TV show anywhere you have some network but no TV. My first test of this was to enjoy 3 episodes od Galactica, streamed by Netflix to the iPad. I loved it.
I’ll have much more to say about it as I try out some daily business tasks. One of the first will be setting up some sample photography galleries to show prospective clients.
Another will be use of the device in the day to day administration of systems and IT management.
Stick around as I explore the ups and downs of the iPad over the next month or so.
Along with the iPad I am testing out Apples new Apple TV. Both are getting rave reviews in my house right now.
