My dad bought me an iPad for my birthday (not actually until May 18) so I thought I would try it out as a blogging device. Verdict? Not so hot. Even up if I were more fluent with the keyboard, to produce content at high-volume it really helps a lot to have a bigger screen and you need robust multitasking. As a reading device, however, it’s great. The browser is great, NetNewsWire is great, the Kindle ap is great (indeed, I think Apple and Amazon should just cooperate on this basis rather than trying to push separate reader/store combos).
Think if it as the high-end glossy magazine paper of the digital world.
