Great videos.

Is it kinda sad that I am already think about how websites will act different on the iPad to a normal machine? My first prediction is drop down menus will be an issue. How will the iPad handle such things as hovering with a mouse.

I predict some very interesting blog articles.

Thanks again for the great review.

Great review, very useful. Thanks.

FYI: the video's don't show up in my browser (Firefox 3.6.3 on OS X). I had to open up Safari to watch them. Am I the only one?

Paul, is the 3 Mobile Mi-Fi locked to that network?

I have a T-mobile usb broadband dongle and am wondering if that sim card would work in the branded version of the Mi-Fi.

Also worth noting that the 3G version also comes with built in GPS, whereas the WiFi version does not.

All you need then is a car mount!

Yep the app store is not working on the device at the moment. However you can access applications via iTunes. If you search on an apps name it will be returned.

Just downloading the videos now...

Excellent typo in the second link, please don't change it, I like the idea of downloading your compassion over the Internet.

Thanks Paul, the solution in your second video is just great. I have just made my mind which iPad to go for.
Thanks a lot!

Great review, thanks Paul. Are you having to work around the UK App Store at the mo until the iPad arrives here? I'm desperate to preorder one but still working on permission from the boss!

It was weird seeing you in reverse, was your webcam flipped horizontally?

Nice review. Really looking forward to one myself.

The mifi got me thinking aswell. If I get the iPhone I might aswell not take a 3g version because i could simply connect to wifi with the "mifi" device. Am I right? It would really lower the costs.
