Review - My First Day with the iPad

So I decided to go to best buy to check out the iPad yesterday and immediately was impressed. I was surprised it wasn't sold out...I would of waited for the 3g version but i have a jail broken iPhone with the My Wifi app installed so i can tether my iPhones internet to my iPad anywhere I want. So anyways heres a quick and dirty review of what i think so far. In the first 24 hours of owning it.

The Good
Build - very clean smooth edges feels sturdy

Speaker - is pretty loud about as loud as my HP DV5Z Laptop

The Awesome Battery -Played with it straight out of the box with no charging it came charged 100%. I used it for 6 hours straight with screen on full brightness with wifi on. I downloaded tons of apps and tested them all out and the battery only went down to 32%.

This morning for two hours I've been playing pandora radio streaming music for the first hour. The 2nd hour playing twit live streaming video and battery only dropped 10% not bad for 2 hours.

Screen- Very bright it could be used in the sun. It also has an awesome viewing angle on it. Photos and video look amazing bright and colorful.

Software- The OS is very snappy and fast. There's tons of great apps your old iphone apps work well on the device in normal view and pixel doubling view look good. The lock screen as a photo slide show button which is nice to have. I play pandora radio go to the lock screen and it still stays active and plays while I load the photo slide show up and sit back and relax. Oh there's apps that work both on the ipad and iphone/itouch they have a small symbol beside the app icon to let you know they have this ability.

The Bad
Must sync to your computer to activate it before you can use it.

Body- It is a little heavy to hold for more then 10 minutes at a time especially playing games.The back of the iPad is a little slippery so id suggested to use my "pro tip" or order a nice cover/skin to have a better grip.
Pro tip: I like to rest it on my fat tummy for support :)

Software- The apps on the ipad are more expensive then the iphone and itouch apps. I wouldn't mind this if it was a dual compatible app that works on both ipad and iphone but some just re-release there app suited a little more for the ipad and charge an extra few bucks with none or hardly an extra features...for now anyways

So concluding id say $499 for this is a great deal for the iPad. It has an awesome battery the screen is great. Touch is very precise and responsive.  The OS is mature but still has a lot of room to grow. I'll be using this for most of all my web browsing and gaming. Way more portable then a laptop. Its the kinda gadget you want for your self then wanna get one for everyone else in your family because its so nice and easy to use. Id definitely get this for my mom. :)
