iPad in Action
I was able to see an iPad in action in the real world during a brief demonstration. I like the concept. The VPN worked. You need to purchase the VNC app. The think worked as advertised. I just cannot justify the price, nor is it handy if you need to do any amount of typing.
Price: $600 for the 32GB Wi-Fi only version. Holy Cow! $729 if you want the Wi-Fi + 3G, and the service plan is sold separately. I am a fan of convenience, but at what price?
Typing. Like the iPod, typing is a pain. If there is any amount of note taking or “administrating” that is necessary, you must be a “hunt & peck” master. I’m old school in that I know how to type, using all ten fingers (or 8 fingers and 2 thumbs). Apps that let you poke at icons and shows results is nice. I just need to learn how to write apps. Maybe if I learn I can earn some money.
Anyways, I like it. I just need to justify the cost and with the lack of budget at our location we won’t be getting one or two any time soon.
Cheers!
