Yeah, so I was really thinking about getting an iPad as soon as I could find one here in Daegu, South Korea. I still really like the idea, and I don't mind the size factor at all - kinda neat when on a plane or a long trip, where you could read without squinting or watch a movie without the small screen detracting from the experience.
However, Tycho's news-post over at Penny Arcade made me stop and think a bit more about it. One of the things at the forefront of me picking one up was the eReader aspect. However, I'm quite surprised that Tycho seems to think it's not up to scratch with a 'specialized' device, such as the Kindle...
I was also a little shocked when I read elsewhere (admittedly some time back) that the iPad can't multitask. As the messenger said to King Leonidas, "This is madness!" However, I really hope Steve Jobs and Co. sort out the niggles and hassles currently associated with the iPad via the system-update feature in the OS. Once that happens, I will quite happily be kicked down the well to the shout of, "Madness? ... This is Apple!"
