She was considering one for reading books and sending emails on an upcoming trip to Israel...Israel's original ban on iPads having been lifted. She found the screen had too much glare and the device was too heavy to hold for long periods of time. I found the touch-screen lousy for typing, so wouldn't want to use it for anything but the equivalent of texting. So our household saved a few hundred dollars...for now, anyway. <br /><br />Another guy I know borrowed one from his company for a few weeks. It was purchased as a giveaway prize for a conference. His litmus test for the value was whether his son minded giving it back. He didn't. <br /><br />One client, Hancock Software, has ported their iPhone/iTouch application to the iPad and the form factor seems to work well there. It seems to work well as a data-entry device when most of the data entry options are choices from drop-down menus.John T.
