With products, it’s always interesting to compare initial impressions with longer-term impressions. Sometimes they match, sometimes not. The story about New Coke and sip testing is a good reminder that initial and long-term impressions can diverge.
After a week of living with the iPad, here’s my usage:
- Book reading (using Amazon’s Kindle app)
- Videos (The Blind Side via iTunes, kids videos from Netflix)
- Light email (reading only, or one sentence replies)
- Reference lookup (general Web surfing, Wikipanion)
- Games (Flight Control HD)
So far, it’s pretty consistent with my initial impressions.
