Just got the ipad?? Thoughts/Comments/Questions/Concerns

[Kalnel]

I picked one up on Tuesday, haven't slept since. The battery is INCREDIBLE. I'm getting more like 15+ hours, not the 10 it's rated.

I don't see it as a laptop/netbook replacement, though. The onscreen keyboard is not sufficient for typing long pieces, and carrying around my old Stowaway BT keyboard would not be particularly convenient. (Works great with the iPad, though.) No multitasking is also a problem for the way I work.

As a magazine reader, browser, instant-on device to have around the house, though -- it's awesome.

I have to admit, it's making me a whole lot more likely to consider an iPhone, if one is really coming to Verizon. I've always resisted, because I'm totally Windows-based (been using PPC and WinMob for 10 years).

BTW, what's the point of jailbreaking a wi-fi iPad?
