I came, I saw, Ipad
2Well I finally relented and bought an iPad … partly because I am currently in Australia and saved the best part of £200 over what I would have paid in the UK, and also because the recent halt on the HP Slate after their acquisition of Palm signalled to me that any viable Windows alternative was now way off.
I am not going to write a mammoth report on it, as people with more time than I have already done so, but in terms of functionality and usability it does not disappoint. The fact my four year old is able to pick it up and use it from scratch is a testament to this.
I didn’t bother with the 3G version as like many others I have a MiFi unit which works very well.
If you are looking at one I would heartily recommend them.
