Fred Wilson Seeking Alpha: "I'm typing this on my iPad. I pre-ordered it and it came yesterday. I spent a fair bit of time playing with it last night. I don't know where the complaints about typing come from. Compared to the iPhone, I find typing on the iPad to be much easier.

I also find it much easier to read on this device than the iPhone. The bigger screen size makes a huge difference, at least on my middle aged eyes. I downloaded the Kindle app and love the fact that the Gotham Gal and I can now read the same book at the same time on multiple devices. That's been possible with Kindle and iPhone for a while now but reading books on the iPhone never interested me.

I showed the Gotham Gal several books she has just read on the Kindle displayed on the iPad. She grabbed the iPad and immediately said "this thing is way too heavy." I guess I will be reading on the iPad and she'll be reading on the Kindle. I agree that the iPad is heavy. I've been holding it for about five mintues so far while typing this and can feel the strain in my left forearm. The Kindle never feels that way even after hours of reading with it."

yeah, it's easy to type on the iPad and much easier to read, I love the kindle app too.
Now the ipad really tempting! It's so sleek and convenient for us to watch movies, enjoy videos, play games, read book....
The couple of Apps that I have got are amazing...and I think the success of the ipad will be determind by the quality of Apps that come out - but so far I have found the whole thing simply amazing. Here I'd like to share some of my treasure:
"Top 10 Best Free iPad Apps"
