Welcome to Tablet 4 One

I received an iPad as a gift on April 5. My family got it for me, managing to secure the device during the post launch frenzy. It was a pre-op gift as I was preparing for a major surgery that would literally take me off my feet for several weeks.

Before actually getting the iPad I was all over the hype. It appealed to my techie nature and I could imagine the possibilities of a device that had so much potential. I was also torn by the rampant hype associated with the device; yes it was desirable but is it necessary? After using the iPad I have to say it may not be outright necessary but it does represent a major step in what will be the future of personal and business information access. This is big. This is the future.

Everyone that sees or hears about my iPad wants to know more. This is the reason for Tablet41. Consider this one man's experience with the iPad. I have been using the iPad for both work and play and I will report on my experiences past, present and future. As I set out on this project my plan is to only use the iPad for this blog. This means I will research, write and post exclusively from the iPad.

I won't commit to this approach long-term, it's just too soon to tell if this makes sense. This first post is written directly in the WordPress iPad app, using the iPad keyboard. Nothing flashy all iPad.

If you have questions or comments let me know. I may not always be right but at least I have an opinion on most things.

More to come soon.

Note: post updated on the WordPress site to add italics. The current WordPress iPad app is lacking in functionality.

Follow up note: as you can no doubt tell I've moved the blog to Blogger. See my post Tablet 4 One has Moved! For more on my motives for change.
