Jay Goldman, AKA Mr. Mobile, manages to get his hands on the
Apple iPad and, it’s fair to say, it looks like love. He’s loving the big bright screen, loving the aspect ratio lock. Loving the fact that you can use the iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard, loving the oil-shedding coating atop the iPad’s 132 DPI, 1024×768 screen. Loving the unibody, loving the 10-hour battery life. It’s not a blind love though: Jay explains why the iPad has wormed its way into his heart.
