I did a keynote presentation today for a client. His first question was should my wife get one of these things? In essence I gave two presentations today one for Apple and one for my business. I think I sold both!!!!!!

the really nice thing about useing a ipad on this trip and not bringing a laptop is that i really do the basic simple task that i need to do with it . useing it for basic tasking of listening to music and sending and reading emails along with keeping track of my personal book and library collection along with a few list here and there ..plus to play a few games of cards or slots or game of chess to relax and think about things when iam up and can not think and need to get the problem worked in my head before i return to work the next day..

That's awesome.

I just got back from a three day business trip with my iPad. I left my other computers at home. I must say I'm very impressed with how well it met all of my needs. I was making sales calls and used it in the car for email, navigation and accessing my call list Excel spreadsheet (wirelessly tethered on 3G using my Nexus One). I used it in my hotel room for gaming, email, iTunes, various news sources, browsing and typing my call reports. I used it on airplanes for reading while listening to music, and for watching movies. So far it performed all functions with aplomb including typing his post.

I only have one nitpick. I rented a movie via iTunes and then tried to watch it on the plane with no wifi connection and it wouldn't play.

That's it, I love it. And it think I sold three of them today myself.
