The more I interact with it, the more amazed I am. I may post a follow up hands-on review, now that I've got one in my hands! It’s really something, Laura.

It is weightier than I expected, and clearly (I use the word intentionally!) there are lots of fingerprints after each use. Some kind of personal sized sham-wow is necessary to have with you if you're going to use a touch screen. But wow, it's fast, beautiful, and though it's missing a couple things I'd like (specifically, a camera and video chat) I can see where this device will become the computing paradigm of the future. The Kindle, on the other hand, has already become (by virtue of the introduction of the iPad) an ereader paradigm of the past. Best wishes, Rick Hi Janice, thanks for your comment!

Yes, fingerprints take some getting used to, no doubt about it. I'm a bit fastidious, so if they were anyone else's fingerprints, it would probably bother me. But you have to keep everything clean in this world or corruption takes over. The weightiness is important, I think, so you don't forget what you're doing and set it down in the bathtub! Thanks also for the link. I responded to that post because I think the writer has a mistaken notion of reality. Here's what I wrote: "I’m scratching my head. Everything that runs on Kindle runs on the iPad, because the Kindle app runs on the iPad. So you’ve got the best of all possible worlds on the iPad, whereas everything that runs on the iPad does NOT run on Kindle. How does this create any kind of competitive advantage for Kindle?" iPad has no competition, though I'm sure there will be plenty of 'me-too' products that come out now. Fact is, because of Apple's tight integration and control over the user experience, the quality of how the iPad functions, the way it looks and feels to users as if it is somehow familiar and friendly, is likely to be unique for a long time to come. @Janice, thanks Janice for the comment.

You might want to check out this interesting article on how the ipad compares to the kindle. http://bit.ly/cTMDJ7 Great review Dr K,
