We are iNteractive therefore we iPad

We've had one in the office for a couple of weeks to have an initial play with and it has had a lot of use.  We can see the potential - iPad is big already and it will become huge we think - so we have a number on order so the team gets to know them inside out.  We want to have a really good understanding of how they can work for our clients.

Our team have found a lot that they like about this 'first edition' of the iPad.  It is just a really nice piece of equipment to handle: a comfortable 'book' size, the weight is reasonable (about 700 grams), and there is a rim around the sides sufficiently large that you can hold the device without touching the screen.  This is good, as the touch sensitive screen really is sensitive, responding quickly to your fingers tapping or gliding across it as you choose menu items, turn pages, and open emails and web pages.  It is easy to move between applications, and it is always easy to get out of an app and back to the full menu, simply by hitting the 'home' button.  The large screen and faster processor makes it easy to enjoy to the max  all those apps that were hard to use on the iPhone.  The team thinks that the battery life of 6-10 hours is 'awesome!'

There are enough built-in applications to do most things you would want to though you cant install just anything. As with the  iPhone you are limited to using applications you can purchase from the Apple app store.  But Apple says the iPad will run almost all of the 150,000 applications already developed for the iPhone and iPod Touch, so you're not going to run out of things to play with any time soon.  

So if you have a spare $799, buy one.  We're pretty sure you will love it as much as we do.  And there are still few enough of them out there that you can still score coolness points by taking it to meetings and passing it round for everyone to admire!
