My Mother's iPad arrived Tuesday. Fed Ex mis-delivered it to the wrong address, but that was remedied quickly via a live chat on their web site. Just slight panic on my part when I checked the tracking and saw DELIVERED as the package status, but knew it wasn't delivered here. All is well now.
When I opened the iPad packaging, it literally took my breath away. It's one thing to see a product online or in a TV commercial but to see it in front of you is different. The iPad is visually beautiful.
There's a small visual instruction card included, but because I have an iPhone already I jumped right it. I found operation very intuitive. The screen requested to be connected to a Mac or PC running iTunes via the included USB cable. I did that, answered a few questions that came up on the screen and the system started copying my photos to the iPad. I took 45 minutes or so (thousands of photos).
Next, I told the iPad my wireless (wifi) network password so it had Internet access, then installed some apps to start with - more on choosing apps later.
My first impression of the iPad has been very positive. I've set up plenty of Windows computers, none were this straight forward. Good Job, Apple!
