First off I have unboxing pics…but seriously how many times can you look at the same packaging and think, ” Oh crap, i need to read that blog!!!”? If you want unboxings go here.

OK i know i said no way willl i buy one for me, but im glad i did. I know im going to have to support these beasties and its not in the cards for me to get one from work. Also i wanted an ebook reader,and this one was available to be put on my computer loan at work…so i said eff it lets do this. The 32gb was instock and i walked away with it.

ok SO, heres what i have to say about the “magical ” device. It IS more capable than I honesty expected.

BIG ipod touch?…hell no, seriously go play with one and youll see WAY more capable.

A netbook is better? At some things yes, daily stuff i do on my netbook, ill pick up the Ipad. Working on my memoirs, netbook/real laptop. Typing isn’t perfect but tolerable,checking email/ sending a quick reply is a dream, aim works well, skip the iphone version of facebook and just go to the webpage, you get the full version, not the mobile version of the page.

Facebook app, scaled up of course:

And Facebook via safari:

I might go further in depth later but my initial impression is that it’s a great device with a ton of potential in the future.

P.S. The last half of this was typed out and had pics added via the WordPress app!
