[ Updated: Read our full iPad Review ] I am writing this blog entry with the iPad as a testament that this device can also be a content-creation device.
I un-boxed the iPad last night and downloaded some free iPad apps as well as the paid apps I bought for my iPhone.
Here’s the short clip I uploaded on YouTube.
So I’m doing this entry purely with the iPad. So far it’s pretty doable and comfortable for short entries like this. I had a bit of a hard time switching between tabs and copying the YouTube codes. I also used Safari instead of the WordPress app and the iFrames aren’t working.
So far, I think it’s very doable for light blogging.

But if you were to choose Abe, between an ipad and a netbook in doing ‘light blogging’, which is better?
ipad is affordable but not meant to replace your smartphone nor your netbook =)
Just a question… Why cant i download the free ipad apps? Whenever i go to the app store.. There is a message that it is not supprted in my country.. Di komtuloy ma enjoy ung ipad experience.. Para lang akong may Giant ipod touch…
now how much would the screen protector for the iPad cost? lalo na yung matte type if you don’t want it to glare too much?
Sir Yuga, what’s the name of the song? :)
Had fun using my iPad, playing need for speed was a blast. I’m a bit disappointed, however, with the apps store for the iPad. My account is restricted with the iTunes Philippines, so I can’t download all the good stuff for the iPad. Any way to go around the restriction guys?
BTW, I have problems with the Yugatech apps with the iPad, it keeps exiting whenever I use it.
I’ve tried blogging using my iPad. While it’s good for mostly text post, I find it hard to add hyperlinks and images. In fact, I wasn’t able to link anything.
For quick, mobile blogging, I would have to say that the iPad is pretty useful.
@unknown3gs – it’s not really a pambahay gadget. Especially right now that very few people have it here in Manila. I’ve gotten several “oh” and “ah” everytime I pull out my iPad and start using it in Starbuko and other public places.
i love ipod touch 2nd gen hehehe… wala lang parang hindi worth to buy an ipad in its 1st gen release.
by the way whats your background theme song
I think as much as I want to get one.. I think I’ll wait for the 2nd gen and see what improvement they do with the iPad.
Cool Device!!
got a chance to hold the ipad at iblog… thanks Abe… now I’m sure I can’t sleep until i get one…
It is very handy and portable, sa garden, sa terrace, sa toilet doing my morning ritual, cafe, bar, anywhere. What i like also is the instant boot (with just one press) whenever i want to make a quick entry or check my email or even check updates on facebook. For sure this will be another thing to follow for other manufacturers and most if not all iPad haters will eventually embrace and say “WTF! been missing a lot!” :-)
wait a minute, the iPad has no clock and no calculator? hmmmmmmm….. i dont get it.
i also heard its more of a pambahay gadget, living room in particular. and wud it feel awkward and out of place taking this thing out in the public rather than cool?

Light blogging is good enough, Abe, specially for on to go blogging. :-)

iPad bling. lol! http://l-o-l.ws/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ipad-chain.jpg
The iPad runs very cool. Don’t believe everything you read. The battery lasts a long time too! Yes it’s worth the money.
No one ever said it CAN’T be a content creation device. It was just better at content consumption, and your post, in which you mention that it’s good for “light blogging”, is a testament to the aforementioned assertion.
was the ipad worth the price? i heard it shuts down by itself when it gets too hot..
i can also post a blog entry thru my iphone conveniently :)
