Today I visited the Apple store in South Coast Plaza to see what the iPad was like. It was a lot heavier than I thought. I don't know if I can't imagine myself playing games on this thing for more than 15 minutes. Other than that, it's a great (colorful) book reader unlike the Amazon Kindle. It transitions smoothly when it detects gestures. Overall, my time with iPad was all right. I can rate this product 7 out of 10 stars. This is my initial reaction however. I haven't used it much to my ability and because I had a previous engagement to attend to later that evening.
The Apple Store is a very lit room. So looking at the screen with all that lighting made the contrast of the iPad sometimes difficult to see unless you tilt it at a certain angle. I tried Plants Vs Zombies, The Simpsons Game, and NBA Live 2010. As far as other things I've tried accessing the iBooks app and store. I downloaded Pastor Greg's Sample eBook, Losers and Sinners. I've tried the mail app and played some movie trailers. All great when sitting down. I stood up most of the time because there wasn't a chair or coach I could bring it too. Anyways... I'll still get it. It was sold out today so I didn't pick one up. Perhaps another review to come later!
