iPad has Landed!

This device is really nice and new - yes, you might not need it immediately, but once you hold one in your hands it changes your perspective. First, it has some weight to it that makes it not slip through your hands and it has a size that is right for it's job which creates an instant familiarity with the device. Next, gestures are really gestures as they allow you to move you hand in space (as opposed to little finger swipes on the phone). One thing you will notice too is that this is no iPhone as it has more space to display information and interacting with it has a very different quality to it: Just bringing up the keyboard - which in my opinion is not sufficient on the iPhone - allows you to easily type what you think. Finally, even turning the device felt very different in a positive way..... It will be interesting to see which applications will take advantage of those device specifics in a good way.
