Prasad Thammineni, my occasional co-blogger, was recently quoted in Forbes (and some other locations, via the AP) on his quest to track down the UPS guy to get his iPad delivered to the OfficeDrop office this past Saturday!
People could also “pre-order” iPads online to arrive Saturday. Prasad Thammineni did just that, but had to chase the UPS ( UPS – news – people ) guy down the block from his office in Cambridge, Mass., to get his iPad.
After playing with it for a few hours, his impressions were mostly positive. Typing on the on-screen keyboard wasn’t as comfortable as using a laptop with a regular keyboard, and Thammineni said he found himself using several fingers but not touch-typing normally. Still, he said, it was much easier to use than a Kindle keyboard.
But the weight of the device might keep him from typing on the go. Thammineni said that after about two minutes of holding up the device with one hand and typing with the other, it got too heavy, even at a mere 1.5 pounds.
