The app is pretty impressive. Though there are some complaints — like trying to tell the difference between [...]

Hoisted by his own petard - when pundit predictions go horribly, entertainingly wrong

Living with the iPad

So I’ve had the iPad for a little more than three weeks now. I posted my initial experiences with it here, but that was only after a day or two of use immediately after I got it. I wanted to follow up after the initial holy-crap-I-got-me-a-new-shiny! excitement wore off to provide a better idea of [...]

First impressions of the iPad
