I now a new wi-fi only iPad, first impressions are very good, it, like all apple products, looks really good and feels good too. Activation in the apple store was easy and when I was back at my laptop it was simple to sync

Although it did sync all the iPhone apps I had automatically, which when you see them running and you then hit the x2 button to zoom in, some of these apps even though they run fine don’t really work well on the iPad so I have now deleted them.

It would be nice in the sync to see which apps where ‘true’ iPad apps

I then searched on the iTunes store for some new iPad apps and there are some good ones, I have used so far:

WordPress

I am using this now to update my blog from my iPad. You have to enable XML-RPC Remote Publishing on the blog, but so far so good. Comments in iTunes said the app was flawed but I have to say so far so good. A couple of niggles but seems to be working ok.

Would be nice to have a more WYSIWYG editor but it’s great to start things going

I might have a look at Blogpress too, but the wordpress version is open source

FT

Free iPad version of newspaper, unlike £9.99 per month Times!!! it looks great on the iPad only one page, but great content, videos pictures.

Thompson Reuters News Pro

Another nice app, News, Pictures, currencies, Markets and Stocks
guardian eyewitness

Evernote

Looks great on the iPad, I use ever note lots for capturing content reminders and notes, which I then organize using nozbe (iPad out for that soon).

Will let you know more once I have lived with it a few days
