Ihnatko on the iPad Keyboard: Apple did a fantastic job

Andy Ihnatko's review of the iPad is now up on the SunTimes.com website. It sounds like the iPad really clicked for him. From the way he describes it I don't think he could ever go without his iPad after using it for just one week.

Andy gave the virtual keyboard some great compliments as well:

 

Apple did a fantastic job with the iPad’s virtual keyboard. It rolls into view when needed.
