The more I work with the iPad, the more I'm impressed with it's capabilities. I've installed plants vs zombies, and I think it shows incredible promise as a gaming platform (all the better because Brooke is more addicted than me), and sketchpad HD shows it's also got great potential as an artistic tool, and could do wonders with basic photo editing and diagramming. Right now I'm contemplating getting "things" for the iPad to see how it works for organization and personal project management. Also, due to how easy Astaro has made it to set up vpn access through the iPhone OS, i'm well on my way to doing real work with it, if only to prove such a thing is possible, even if it remains impractical.
