Cheree Heppe here: I like the IPad, actually. I went for the I-devicees first because they open a very intuitive, easy entre into the Apple environment. No commands and keystroke chording and what seemed to me a quick start interface.
In a bit, I'm ggoing to get an Air or Mac, but would have done so with much more trepidation if not having tried the I-devices first. As to the base measurements of a PacMate being smaller than an IPad, true, but that's only a single dimension.
