iPad Day 3

Follow-up to iPad Day 2 from Rudo's blog

Day 3 and it's the weekend. Installed some more Apps [Google, Free Wi-Fi, Google Earth, AccuWeather and ClassicFM]. I ended up spending much of my time browsing for nice free books on [stanza] and then reading until late at night. For me, the iPad works well as an ebook reader, both for actual books as well as scientific papers. This is excellent! If your work is reading many papers, books, etc.  then this can be quite a useful gadget for you.

Battery life seems to be about 2-3 days on average use, 2 days when reading a lot. One problem which I can see is that upon reading late at night, I really do not want to get out of bed again to plug the iPad into a charger. So this is a device which is crying out for a simple to handle cradle-type of charger.
