RE: IPAD Update
To it's credit, browsing the Internet is great and the touch keyboard works well for a mobile device. We have a MS server environment at work though and it just doesn't integrate well into it. If we had a Mac environment it might be different.
File sharing is fairly simple but printing or using software we require is a no. I downloaded an office document app which allows me to edit documents from our main server but it then screws the document format all to hell.
The 3G is fast, I am in Almont, MI ATM and it is working well. This area is known for spotty cell phone coverage at times. The unit also connects to any unsecured network it can find if your in range if you set it up that way, saving on your data charges.
It is not a bad gadget, but IMO not really for business yet. I would categorize it as a glorified cell phone or a more portable laptop but with much less functionality than a real laptop.
