So kind of like a smartphone in terms of "mobile freedom enjoyable anywhere"?

How's the glare? Are all the stories of an annoying glare in the sun true?

Not too bad really, its better with the antiglare overlay though

On Sunday I was outside in the sun and found that the combo of sunlight, glossy display and greasy fingerprints make the iPad unusable.

I love the device and it works fine indoors, under shade or under cloud, but in the sun, even at full brightness it's a disaster.

Sent from my iPad.

Yeah, OP, good luck using your ipad outside in DIRECT sunlight. Not going to happen. Even inside a Starbucks sitting NEAR the window, the INDIRECT sunlight shining through the window was enough to make reading my ipad a chore. I don't even want to think what it would be like using it OUTDOORS.

Had an antiglare overlay on it

Sunlight coming from one way, can't you just turn the opposite way?

I'm in NY, and can't wait til it's 80 degrees, to sit outside and enjoy my iPad. Enjoy!

God if only I could do the same with, like, a Macbook or something.

We had 80 degrees in Michigan yesterday and it was blissful. .

Edit: Actually on the weekend.

Most of my use will be outside

I live on Maui

Yeah baby

Where'd you get the Anti-glare screen protector?

 

[Doju]

Yeah, if only. The iPad's a lot easier to bring around than a clunky laptop that you have to open every time. Just hit the on switch on the iPad.

Like carrying around a magazine.

Made it himself from a sheet of anti glare film, don't know where he bought the sheet though

Macbooks are clunky laptops now? Haha oh Apple users...

You don't get it, right? Compared to the iPad and for the intended use case EVERY laptop is clunky, no matter if Apple or any other brand...

This. I've been hanging out on the porch with the dogs today while working on the iPad, something I never did with my laptops (but usually do with my iPhone). It's just so easy to pick up and take along.
