my quick thoughts on the apple ipad
via apple.com
everyone is giving their thoughts on a device that almost no one has seen in the flesh yet. will it succeed or fail? beats me, all i can say is it's gorgeous and i can definitely see a use for it in my home. after watching the keynote last night, i wanted to catch up on my feeds and see what had been written about the ipad etc. as i sat on my couch it would have been the perfect device to do so.......
oh, and closed vs open? in a device like this, i like the closed platform. i will sacrifice a little extra functionality for the user experience i assume it will provide (similar to the iphone). then again, i can't understand why people jailbreak iphones, so i'm probably not the target market for hating on closed systems. ;)

I find myself leaning my phone against a cup of tea while having breakfast or wedging it in-between the two seats in front of me on the train to watch video. This big iPhone is probably too big to lean on things - does that mean we have to hold it or worse, buy a stand?
