For no reason other than love, Jennifer came home from a shopping trip bearing an unexpected yet very welcome gift: an iPad.

To say I was surprised would be an understatement. To say I was ecstatic would be about right. It’s been a few days now, and i still love it. In fact I’m writing this post on it to see how it goes. To be honest, although I’m getting better at typing, there’s still plenty of room for error with my fat fingers. I shall therefore keep it brief.

It is a great piece of kit, and although not exactly necessary, it certainly is great fun to use. I shall write more on it later, and probably using my MacBook. In the meantime, I’ll say to those who say it’s “just a big iPod touch” that yes it is. And you say it like that’s a bad thing?
