I've been wondering about the iPad. I don't actually have the fever for one but I've been reading over the past couple of days as people have bought them and are trying them out. I guess the draw is the portability of it? The mid-size portability?Ann Althouse bought one and has spent a couple of days tinkering with it. She sums it up this way:
And I'm not going to pick it up from my bedside to check the time and a couple websites when I wake up. I'm not going to read it from a completely supine position, as I often do with the iPhone, when I'm in bed and not ready to sit up.
That's the way I am with my iPhone, too. Before I'm ready to get up, I'll use it to check on the world before I get out of bed. I do a quick check of my email and a couple of news sites and if things look good, I'll get up. If I'm going to blog, I'd rather be on my desktop or my laptop. Very seldom do I blog on my iPhone.
But would I on an iPad? Probably not, but I guess at some later date the fever could hit me. What about you, do you have the fever? Have you bought one?
I'm waiting to see what Bride of Rove has to say about it.
