An iPad Journey: part 1
I have bought an iPad. For a guy like me, who remembers with fondness using BSD 4.1 Unix on a PDP-11 that stood three feet tall and ran on a huge 2 MB of RAM and booted off of 8 inch floppy disks, the notion of a device the size of a small book with 64 GB in it that can do – if Apple is to be believed – anything, is a bit of a stretch. Still, the iPad presents me unique opportunities. I thought it would be interesting to track my experiences with my new toy, from a designerly point of view. (UPDATED 21 August 2010)
