Many people have told us that they are eagerly awaiting our Apple iPad reviews. This is the first Apple iPad review… We wanted to show you that it is not only possible to work on the iPad, but it is even possible to write an article, and post to a website in WordPress, all using the native iPad applications. This will be the first of several hands-on iPad reviews we will write to answer the question what is iPad.

I am sitting in a Starbucks, and all I have is the iPad and its onboard applications – in this case i am using Safari. I am not using an external keyboard – I am typing (or as Apple calls it, “tapping”) on the native onscreen keypoard (see image below) which, on the iPad, is plenty big enough to navigate, even if you have big hands (which I don’t).

Actually I take that back. I was was in Starbucks; now I am actually in a moving car (fear not, I’m not behind the wheel). And that serves to illustrate the point: the iPad is the most portable of full-featured computing devices. Or, if you like, the most full-featured of portable computing devices.

I’ll be posting lots more in the coming days, but I wanted to give you a quick taste to show you that the iPad is not just a pretty screen, it’s a functional and serviceable computing device.
