first glimpse - iPad pros and cons

Pros:

• the battery life rocks. I spent three hours surfing the web, using apps and watching videos and the battery shows 92%. if i did the same thing on my iPhone it would probably be down to 42% or less
• most of the native/new iPad apps are really nice. I did install a couple of iPhone only apps and quickly took them off again - they just look like crap
• it's really fast - opening and closing apps as well as navigating within apps all feels very snappy - it's a delight to use
• the screen quality is superb and really bright

Cons:

• the pages app sucks if you constantly move your iwork content from the ipad over to your mac and back. Just last month i threw out Microsoft Office and went Pages only. So now i imported a dozen or so documents into pages on the iPad and they all got reformatted somehow. I also got a long list of things that were changed or could not be imported (like certain formattings, fonts etc.). The documents all look different than the originals
• no wireless sync. It sucks that i always have to run back to the iMac in order to sync the iPad. this device clearly is a very mobile device and i just don't understand why you have to be plugged into the usb dock in order to sync
