Anyway, I can't wait to get my Exo!

Denis, I will be very curious to hear what you think of the Exo after you use it for a month or so. It almost seems that a tablet running Windows is about a year away from being solid, but I guess we'll see.

I've been using my iPad regularly for a month and am absolutely in love with it. I've been on 3 trips in the last month and had great uses for it. The 9-10 hours of battery life makes all the difference. As of now, here's what I've used it for:

1) Netflix
2) Can access 3 different email accounts
3) Web browser is great, even for regular sites....I have yet to encounter the Flash issue
4) Used iTunes to sample some rare jazz albums that I haven't been able to find anywhere else
5) Got an amazon gift card from someone, and used it to buy several books that I was able to read using the Kindle device
6) Have several photo albums with over a thousand photos and many videos of my daughter. I'm able to get pics and videos from my phone and camcorder to my iPad very easily.
7) Am able read email attachments and can edit Excel, Word, PPT documents
8) Have found some great apps, like a PDF reader, a great appmt-outliner, a really nice app that gives me access to many online jazz sites
9) Recently my wife and I started looking at some of the iPad apps for toddlers.

Additionally, for the first time the other day I used my iPad in direct sunlight. I had my sunglasses on and didn't have a problem at all.

Obviously, I can't do any development on it. Never had any intention. That's what my laptop and desktop are for. :)

But I can do development research very easily. For instance, I've had a subscription to Safari (for reading books online ) for years. I'm currently reading a Sharepoint programming book on my iPad (using Safari online) while reclining in my couch. On Saturday I was in a car for four hours with someone driving - my cell phone has a mobile hotspot feature that I use for my iPad. I stayed connected the entire time...got a ton of reading done on that trip. And no worry about battery life. :)
