At a party Friday night with my wife’s professorial colleagues I had my first hands-on in with the vaunted iPad. I was disappointed. The “big Touch” moniker seems more fitting than I expected.

The lack of anything like a full keyboard is also unfortunate. Typing, I found, was little easier than with my Tiny touch. I’m sure the Apple tablet would grow on me, but how much?
