My iPad arrived today, when I was home sick due to weird intestinal problems (the less spoken of, the better). Man, there is no surer way to make an iPhone look tiny than to compare it to Big Brother here.
I think it'll do what I bought it to do admirably, that being reading papers for work and the like. Not sold on it as a web browser quite yet, but perhaps. The landscape keyboard is so close to being almost useful at it hurts, but the portrait is … I dunno, less useful for actual input? I can make it work but it isn't exactly flawless.
Minor annoyance is that there is as far as I can tell no iPad native LiveJournal apps. I could run the iPhone versions (which operate fine) in reduced screen mode but that is profoundly unsatisfying in a way that is difficult to coherently express. I dunno. We'll see, for sure. OS 4 for the iPad can't get here soon enough.
