So I promised a few people I’d do a bit of a wrap-up with my iPad, and talk about some of the things I really like, and some of the things I don’t. I’m also going to talk through some of my favourite apps on the iPad so far. iPad The Object First of all, I think the iPad is a fundamentally different portable computing device, because it has a couple of physical qualities that...
