From the voice of experience Jim Hamm writes, "Here is a link to a good review of using an iPad — what it does well and its limitations. If you — or someone you know — might be considering whether it's worthwhile or not to purchase an iPad at some point in the future, reading this article will give you a good picture of what you can expect. I pretty much agree with what the article says, except the author doesn't point out how useful the iPad is for reading books. This is a big plus for the iPad, and shouldn't be overlooked. Downloading ebooks from a library or Amazon, for example, is very handy.
"I do find my iPad useful, and glad that I have one. It probably isn't a replacement for a computer for most people, nor, I suspect, was it intended to be."
