This morning just before I set off for work, I thought that I would just check to see if the status on my iPad order had changed as the tracking information said delivery would be on 27/05/2010 but that it was subject to change. Low-and-behold the status had updated to say that it had been checked-in at my local depot and that it was out for delivery.

This came as a surprise as the Apple iPad wasn’t due to launch until tomorrow (28/05/2010). Not that I was complaining of course.

I looked on Twitter and there were posts of people getting their iPads… I had to sit and wait.. and wait.. as more and more people got their hands on this much talked about device from Apple.

Early afternoon and there was a knock on my door from a friendly UPS man with my iPad. Yeah.

The box was very light.

I opened it to find a find a sexy new iPad inside. After connecting it to iTunes as requested to activate the device I was ready to try out some of the apps that I had already downloaded ready.

The first thing that you notice is the amazing screen. You have to see it to appreciate how awesome it really is.

I’ve been having a good play with the device and have to say that I am VERY happy with my decision to ditch my netbook in favour of it.

I think that I have gotten used to it’s size already as going to use my iPhone afterwards is a really weird experience, as for the first time the iPhone just feels so oddly small!

The keyboard on the iPad is far better than I was expecting, in-fact this post was written entirely from the iPad without much issue at all, with some pretty quick typing speeds..

I can’t believe that people are queuing outside shops this evening to get their hands on one. I’m so glad that I pre-ordered.
