I’ll tell you this. My wife and family got me an iPad for my birthday
, which was June 19th. I love the thing!
From my hospital bed, and now that I am in rehab (I have sitting and standing restrictions due to the massive reconstruct they did in my pelvic area) from my own bed or wheel chair at our apartment here in Houston Getting on the web, watching movies, listening to music, s,die shows of my pics, and even word processing ( (not to mention the many apps) .
I created the PDF and .doc files for my just published Proposal for Border Enforcement on the southern border. You can download those files here:

I then created a web page to go with them:

So, the iPad functions for me at about 85% of my laptop, and it is 1/2 inch thick and 1.5 lbs. Slick piece of technology. All touch controlled, when going back to my XPS laptop, I find myself trying to touch the screen to get things done and the have to revert to the mouse.
Don’t get me wrong. I love my laptop. High-end dual core processors, 4 gb RAM, dual nVidia graphics in SLI...but my 64gb iPad is very nice too and wins for portability when I do not have any heavy graphics or heavy processing needs,
Apple knows how to build a fine product.
Wishing you a speedy rehab.

Yes, I agree completely. I just got my first Mac computer: an MacBook Pro. It's the best computer I have ever owned. I am so impressed with the quality of the hardware and software. At some point I will get an iPad as well. And my iPod touch goes everywhere I go. I have all my music on it.
And thanks for the links.
Dear Mr. Head: Thank you for your scholarship and amazing productivity. Your review of the new iPad is very interesting. And I believe you. If you find value in the iPad, then it’s gotta be good. I’ll check it out. Speedy recovery.
