A week with the iPad

I’ve had my iPad now for a week and so far it’s been great. There are a couple things I don’t like but overall I’m both impressed and happy. Let me start out with the the things I don’t like.

iPhone only apps: the little mini screen drives me a crazy and only a few of them in 2x mode look good.

Dock connector: it’s on the bottom and when I place it in the dock it’s in portrait mode. Unfortunately apps like Mail and Twitter just work better in landscape.

Those are my two main beefs so far. I’m here using the WordPress app and typing at a good pace. I’ve watched two movies and it was great. I’ve got a pair of skull headphones and enjoying my music as I type here.

My poor iPhone, after day in and day out used is sorely being set aside for my iPad. While I’ve always liked my iPhone it just doesn’t have the same appeal/need with my iPad around. I do use it to keep a quick version of my calendar, Things, contacts, and music.
