The iPad has landed

After what seems like an eternity, and at the least, a very very long time, the iPad aka large-screen iPod Touch has finally arrived on Australian shores. The machine is simply amazing, and no less so because it comes (fully) charged out of the box, so there's no need to plug it in and wait (even longer) for it to be useable. And, surprisingly, it is much more functional than an iPod Touch - and there are some tremendous design features. You can still use it to Skype because it has a built in microphone and speaker - which is good since neither of these came in the box with in. If you haven't already ... it's well worth dropping in to your local Apple store and getting them to give you a demo. Afterall, they have just overtaken Microsoft in the "worth" department.
