'Pad landing

As I mentioned earlier my wife will be getting an iPad as part of research grant she’s involved with. When the team heard about the iPad 2 they elected to wait for it, so I should have an iPad 2 in the household soon. Until then, here’s a first take from the London Telegraph (I generally prefer the less-geeked out Brit take on these sorts of things):

The iPad 2 is strikingly thin and though it isn’t that much lighter than the original iPad, its slender form makes it feel less hefty overall. The improvement in the form factor is similar to the change between the early iPod touch and the more recent model but in the iPad’s case the difference is even more stark. - read more

I, too, plan to get one but I’ll have to pay for mine. It will be interesting to get two different perspectives on the same item.
