iPad out of the box

Cloudywind Flickr page on iPad

The iPad created a huge commotion in the office when it is finally here! All in the team fought to hold it, touch it and sweep their fingers on it, those from the nearby departments tried to take a glimpse of it, and the IT guys even offered to exchange their 32" Samsung LCD TV with it!

So what did we do with it now that it is in our hands? Firstly and most importantly, the must-do type-anything-on-the-keyboard test! Ok, proved can put on table and type comfortably on it... Next! We managed to get the IT guys to key in the wireless router password to go online! But our LAN is kinda slow though... Next! Watched a HD video on Youtube, and the color and resolution is indeed fantastic! The speakers abit soft though, but hey, that's why we've got portable speakers! Next! My favourite - photos viewing!

But for some reasons, the iPad's bluetooth refuses to detect any nearby bluetooth devices so we couldn't transfer any photo over, so we ended up looking at Flickr... but still, nice colors and resolution again! Someone suggested it can be used as a fine digi photoframe, but... abit too expensive right?

My manager suggested that the iPad will be great for reading on bed, which is really true. After all, it's so precious and not very light, so I can't imagine holding it with one hand and viewing it while standing in an overcrowded MRT train...

Now we just need to get hold of some games on the iPad...
