Our iPads arrived yesterday. Very fun. Much better than I was expecting. With Pages and Numbers, it’s a fully-functioning computer.

There’s a dirty little secret out there about iPad apps. Almost no developers received devices to test their apps with. As a result, apps have been rejected by apple because simulator performance does match real-devices. Here’s a Cringley article about it.

Luckily, we did not submit our apps, because real-world performance is disappointing. Not horrible, but not we saw on the simulator at all.

One more thing… We’ve found that ALL iPad apps crash. Wordpress updated their app for the iPad, but we found some problems with it as well. It would not allow me to upload the local copy of this post.

The bottom line, I’m still very excited about this device. I’m certain that every app is fighting with Apple to get updates released. And I’m sure the next round of apps will be much better–Can’t wait!
