30 Days With The New iPad ⇥

After spending two weeks with the new iPad, I wrote:

I cannot see a reason to purchase any competing tablet right now. The new iPad is a nearly-perfect product. Apple has managed to put a faster processor, a bigger battery, and a display that was unfathomable just a couple of years ago in a $500 package you can buy today.

Dan Frommer has spent a full month with his new iPad:

Apple was right with the idea that this thing — as powerful as a laptop, with incredibly natural feeling touch-based controls — is finally the computer that people will want to carry around with them. And it has been amusing to see the competition fail to understand or replicate the iPad’s magic — not one particular feature or quality, but the entire story — and flop in the market.

I completely agree. In the past year, I’ve been leaving my laptop on my desk and leaving the house with only my iPad and phone. It’s the lightest, easiest way to get work done from anywhere.
