Oh, how I wanted to like this new thing called the iPad. Oh, how I didn’t like my first impressions. The potential is obvious, it’s got a great form, a big screen, and great battery life. It doesn’t have multitasking (yet), the 3G connectivity is still from AT&T which left us wanting a signal on a trip from Phoenix to Yuma, up the 95 along the California border to Quartzsite, and back to Phoenix, and what about all those fingerprints? I don’t want games, I want productivity apps. Adobe Lightroom Lite would be nice, connect your camera and start tagging images, add geotag data, and create a file that syncs with my home installation of Lightroom to update my library. Or how about giving me Open Office document capability that updates a directory at home with blog notes? An app for taking my travel itinerary on the road with me that ties into a mapping feature, now we’d be getting somewhere. I want more than games, watching videos, listening to music – I want productivity tools to follow me into the remote areas that such a portable device should offer. When does the version with a solar panel recharger on the backside come out?
