Apple sent out iPads to a select few journalists and their reviews have been posted over the last few days. Here is a round-up of major reviews and what they said.
Tim Gideon for PC Magazine gave it 4.5/5 and said “you can actually get real work done with the iPad… when my laptop eventually dies, I’ll be getting one.”
Andy Ihnatko for the Chicago Sun-Times said “the iPad user experience is instantly compelling and elegant…. It’s a computer that’s designed for speed, mobility, and tactile interaction above all other considerations.”
Xeni Jardin for BoinBoing said “I like it a lot. But it’s the things I never knew it made possible — to be revealed or not in the coming months — that will determine whether I love it.”
Walt Mossberg for the Wall Street Journal said “The iPad is an advance in making more-sophisticated computing possible via a simple touch interface on a slender, light device. Only time will tell if it’s a real challenger to the laptop and netbook.”
Ed Baig for USA Today said “Apple has delivered another impressive product that largely lives up to the hype.”
Apple released an update to iTunes this week that added support for the iPad, so Macs and PCs will be ready to sync with the device on Saturday when people start bringing them home. MacMost will have its first look and review of the iPad starting Saturday and continuing with closer looks at the device in videos throughout next week.
