About two hours ago I received a visit from the friendly TNT courier who dropped off my iPad and accessories!
I’ve done an unboxing video and you can watch below:
My preview video will be going up shortly with a short overview of the major features. In the meantime, if you have questions or you want to see something just leave a comment and I’ll do my best!
My name is Boyd and I’m a Service Management Specialist with a knack for operational data gathering, transformation, analysis and reporting.
In 2012, I obtained my Masters of Science in Information Technology through the University of New South Wales @ The Australia Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA).
I was also part of an online community known as the Panasonic Insider Crew in the capacity of “Insider Guru” for Panasonic Australia where I interacted with other tech enthusiasts and find out more about Panasonic's latest gadgets.
I love technology, gadgets, and the Internet and maintain a keen interest in these areas locally, nationally, and globally. I hope by sharing my views on these topics that people will receive an honest point of view from someone with a genuine interest in these topics.
I have also written and edited articles for Neowin - you can check out my articles over @ https://www.neowin.net/news/poster/boyd_chan
It’s smaller and thinner than you might expect. Even after being fully aware of the dimensions it doesn’t hit you until you hold it.
The screen is beautiful (it’s an IPS LCD which is the same as what is used in the Apple 30″ CinemaHD LD monitor that I use at home). The colours are vibrant and makes for great viewing of photos and videos as well as for games.
I won’t go too far as I am going to fully test drive it over the next few weeks but I think this is a logical next step up from the iPhone. Even things like the calendar are a great step up from the iPhone.
One minor gripe that I have a missing apps that are on the iPhone such as Weather, the voice recording function and a calculator. Voice recognition is also missing (even though I’m not sure how useful it would be on the iPad but it would be more than capable).
The iPad won’t be for everyone but those that will naturally find a place for it in their lives and those that will make it fit anyway will have a fun time in my opinion.

What are your initial thoughts Boydo? I’m having dinner tonight with my brother in law who is an Apple Big Kahuna so will come up in conversation.
