Hands-on with the iPad [44:29]

On Sunday (4/25/10) Mike Q shared his initial impressions after some hands-on time with an iPad. Mike does a great job describing the device along with some of his favorite applications for the device. Here’s some of the questions he answers: So Mike you broke down and got an iPad - which one did you get? Why only 16 gig? So how long have you had it? So give us some of your impressions. How is the battery life? What about the screen? What about the keyboard? How much is the case? Did you get any other peripherals? Can you connect it to a projector for presentations? Have you been to the app store? What are some of your favorites so far? What do iPhone apps look like on the iPad? OK, how about some apps? Let's start with the iWork suite. So what's your assessment of these apps? What about Keynote? Have you moved your Kindle content over? And, speaking of the Kindle – I know you have a first generation one – how do they compare as a reader? What about some quick hits on some apps that you've found interesting ?  Does it have a GPS radio? Have you tried out any of the location based applications? What about some quick hits on some apps that you've found interesting ? What’s up with Israel banning iPads? Mike also provided a few screen shots from the device: Here's a screen shot of a dictionary lookup created on the iPad. Here's an OmniGraffle example created on the iPad.   Here's a Penultimate example created by Mike on the iPad.   Note: After we recorded the podcast, the Israeli Government lifted the ban on the WiFi iPad.
