meeting with the iPAD

iPAD is here!  Apple stores across the country were filled with curious customers ( yes, many walking out with a newly shaped package ) while the poor Kindle people at Borders sat lonely at their booths with reading tablets.
Young and old, people waited in lines to feel it, try it, and see what it is all about.
I've already heard from a few students who will be getting an iPAD - one for a birthday gift and another who will replace their laptop.

According to Chitka Research Labs ' running counter of the number of iPads sold as of this Thursday posting, it is well  over 520,000,  and counting. California is the "iPadiest" state according to their numbers and Massachusetts number 8 with 1,341 pop per pad.

We have heard of some issues with the Wi-Fi in the past few days, verified by the recent  Apple Support  advice offered online that includes "moving closer to the router". That is ok for now, but I look forward to the software update to correct the issues. While they're at it, throw in a camera on mine, Thank you. ;  )
