I am very happy with it. It's really polished, and it's pretty hard to find issues. Although it did freeze up yesterday whilst playing a game.

One big negative is that moving the text cursor is really fiddly, and the app store is too difficult to navigate. It's especially difficult to just browse across games.

However the interface feels much more desktopy then I was expecting; especially web browsers, they look pretty much the same as their desktop counterparts. Task switching is also slower then I was expecting; this is something I feel windows 8 does better. Infect overall I feel if windows 8 ends up as polished and stable, then it'll be a nicer tablet OS.

Another thing I dislike is that browsers don't use the full resolution; it's only 1024 pixels wide. It would be nice if I could get it running at the full resolution.

The lack or free stuff is also staggering. I get that it's a market place, but if you want anything decent, you have to pay. It's much more extreme then what I am used to on the desktop.

I also find it surprisingly fiddly to hold and type on. When it's landscape it's too wide to reach the whole keyboard, and when it's portrait it's too small and fiddly to type accurately.

But overall the iPad rocks!
