iPad

So I got an Apple iPad Tablet (32GB, Wi-Fi) from work and have been playing with it. Its a pretty neat toy. I have been looking around for apps and have found a few that I like so far.

Kindle
iBooks
ABC Player
Epicurious
Wikipanion
Pandora
Dungeon Hunter HD
Marvel
Netfilx
SSH Terminal
Nightstand
RDesktop
Calculator XL

I loaded the sample of Understanding the Linux Kernel, Third Edition and tried reading a few chapters. It was actually pretty easy on the eyes after lowering the brightness and tilting the screen a little so the lcd was not shining directly into my eyes. It’s still not even close to as easy to read as a kindle but makes a great alternative multiuse device.
