Finally I got my iPad I have been waiting for it since January :-) The iPad looks cool and sleek, love the screen and I love the keyboard as well. So far I don’t have any issues with the wifi and it’s good that I didn’t buy the 3G version as I can use my iPhone which means a cheaper option. Although my iPhone has to be jailbroken, still better and good method to use. Speed is outstanding using the iPhone data :-) I will look into further with other mobile phones if can be connected to the iPad and I’ll post updates about it.

Apps
The apps are good so far, in the app store for games. There are no button for categorised games whilst iPhone AppStore has it. Hope Apple can do something about it, so troublesome searching for games. iPad apps are definitely expensive there, you gotta be rich to have them on your iPad. I already purchased a few games Top Gun, Pinball HD etc. Was going to buy the Red Alert game but I do not think the game might entertain me so I pass. You can use your purchased apps (iPhone/iTouch) for your iPad although sizes aren’t that great. For instance Peggle by PopCap the game is in iPhone size version, there is an option to expand the size of the game but it’s slightly blurry. The game Zombie Smash, once expanded the graphics still looks nice.

Features/Functions
I love the size of the full keyboard it’s very nice. Still need more time to get use to the keyboard, probably a few days will do. The settings page looks nice, everything laid out nicely. YouTube looking good as always, it’s a lot better than the iTouch/iPhone basic interface. Haven’t tried out the photos, videos yet as I haven’t chosen my photos yet hehe I will post them on my next update. Any features that I haven’t mention out, an update will be post out next week.

The downside of this iPad is that there is no camera, so crap without a camera. It’s nice to have a camera when using it for instant messaging. I think Steve will be working on the 2nd Gen iPad next year with added features. I’m not bother with Flash, as I don’t visit those flash websites and When it comes to flash websites I hate it. Even I’m on my desktop or notebook, it takes quite a while to load up.

Next update will be on Jailbreaking iPad, iPad features. Stay tune!
