Apple iPad 64GB

Got the iPad Tablet 64GB after checking it out at Best Buy. Just to be clear it is not an iPhone, it is not a laptop, it is a new device that has instantly been a hit for our family. We use it to check email, watch video, and surf the web. The instant on feature and the large screen make it a fundamentally different device than any product we've used before.

The interface just seems so intuitive. We have a MacBook Pro and several iPhones and an iPod touch in our family and but this feels more useful than any of these devices for common tasks as mentioned above. Oh and my wife loves the games, most of which are free on the iTunes App store.

About iPad Tablet 64GB

Immediately when using the iPad, you'll face one glaringly disruptive obstacle. You must sync your iPad to a Mac or Wintel PC, and you must synch it to iTunes. Even worse, you must synch via USB. This issue comes up later again (when using the seriously flawed file sharing).

The large touch screen and instantaneous response to touch make this device immensely usable and enjoyable. Few things are as satisfactory as going over a design or photo spread with a client or famly member and be able to touch, flick, pinch, and zoom in on details. Same goes for maps and other visual interaction. Of note: for some businessws this is an integrated presentation device that is hard to beat in price/performance.

The home screen interface is a curiously sparsely populated grid of 4 x 5 apps, which looks plain silly. Either the app icons should be larger, or you should be able to pack more icons on a page. As with the iPod Touch/iPhone you can flip though multiple pages of apps.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment with overall usage is that the iPad Tablet 64GB is tied to a single person. In a household or small office where many items are shared, would have liked to have small 'personal corner' for email and some other things (playlists etc.) that was only accessable to specific users.

Customer Reviews About Apple iPad 64GB

If you've ever owned or checked out a Touch, the iPad Tablet 64GB is merely a bigger version. But therein lies a world of difference. After trying out all of the features of my Touch--the e-mail, the apps, the movies, photos, books, and iTune downloads, the internet, the calendar, calculator, contact book, alarm, etc., etc., I stopped using practically all of them. They were ingeniously implanted in this miniature device but too tiny for my impatient fingers and hungry eyes to waste time on. I still love my Touch and have it on my person constantly--for music. But with the iPad, suddenly all of those marvelous features that were little more than "possibilities" on the Touch are realities--plain, immediate, and practical, ready for action the instant you get your hands on this amazingly lightweight and user-friendly device. Moreover, for a modest monthly fee you have the ability to use it anywhere, wi-fi not required.

The iPad Tablet 64GB device is so good I'm tempted to follow my wife's example and buy one. You don't need this thing, but you may need a rationalization. Hers was its usefulness in her mathematics classroom (she's already using it in conjunction with an overhead projector)--which was a bit of a stretch this late in the school year. I've decided for the present to come up with the main rationalization NOT to get it--cost, and the impracticality of a "virtual" keyboard for a compulsive typist like me.

But if Apple doesn't come out with the perfect netbook soon (it should be easy--simply attach a keyboard/cover to an iPad), I may have to submit to yet another decadent pleasure. I had sworn off more clutter, but this latest Apple product has the potential to bring out the Eve and Adam in the most abstemious among us.
