Well first things first, this post is being composed on my iPad, so this will be my first real test of the keyboard! So far so good 
I was very surprised with the apple queuing process… The 5pm launch was nice as people were able to queue throughout the day and quite a buz developed. Apple kindly supplied us with Starbucks coffee / drinks as well as snacks and supplies.
The bit that was most refreshing was that once I’d made it to the front of the queue, I wasnt rushed in and out of the store, i was greeted by an apple member of staff on the door – he waked me through the purchasing, unboxed the iPad to check it over, activated and set up the app store. There was no sense of a rush despite the huge queue still outside.
Finally onto my thoughts about the iPad. Well so far it’s superb. Light, slim, lovely to hold and use, crystal clear screen and superb speakers. I’ve only played with a few apps but already Garage Band and Flipboard stand out for me as excellent examples of polished products.
