A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post on an experiment to use the iPad by Paul Colligan as his only computer.  Well that experiment began on the 3rd of April and  so far Paul likes it for traveling.  He reports that it is small enough to use on the fold down tray with someone sitting next to you and that the battery life was more than ample for a ride from LAX to PDX.  The battery life of the iPad is certainly getting high marks from various reviewers.

This still leaves a lot of unanswered questions about traveling with an iPad.  What was it like to watch a movie on?  Want to work on a spreadsheet for the meeting you have an hour after get off the plane, we don’t yet know how it was for that.

Today is Paul’s first day working from his home office on his iPad and what we know so far is that it is a great alarm clock as it woke him up at 4:30.  Unfortunately, that wasn’t the hour he wanted to get up, but due to WiFi and the fact that iPad is set for push email that was what time the email notifier started making enough noise to get him out of bed.  Hopefully things will improve for him on this first full work day of the experiment.
