I love computers. I'm not afraid of computers. I kinda miss unix, but I loooove Apple products. My iPhone is the Best Gadget Ever.
But the iPad and I are not clicking. I took it home last night*, but couldn't get it connected to my wifi at home. It found the network, but kept giving me 'wrong password' error message when I tried to connect. Grrrr. I tried all kinds of different ways to write my password, thinking I'd forgotten a capital letter or had misspelled/mistyped. No dice. So maybe this is just me being an idiot about my password -- I'll find out tonight, when my son comes over with his iPhone and tries to connect to the network.
* I walked home, so the iPad was in an interoffice envelope and then inside my messenger bag. This worked out fine. It's not heavy, so lugging it in a messenger bag is not a big deal, and the interoffice envelope actually makes a very good case!

Day 1 Immediate Wants
I want to be able to access my work email on this. Need to call the help desk.
I want a case I'm pretty sure. This surprises me. I don't want/use a case or anythign with my iPhone, but I can't figure out how I'm going to carry 'Padma' around. It seems vulnerable without a 'lid' and is too big for my pocket/purse. (OK, it would fit in my purse, but then it would just get scratched up by all the other stuff that lives in my purse.) Will I get used to carrying it around like a hot book and not worry about the screen cracking? But I'm already shopping for a case (and finding no glowing user reviews, which is interesting. Maybe it's intentionally designed to be non-case-friendly -- but why? To reinforce that we shouldn't baby it, just treat it like a big iPhone?)
I want to figure out why it isn't charging when it's connected to the desktop. Is it the connection or just that the charge is full?
I want to be able to configure the wallpaper. Doesn't seem to be an option. There's a set of wallpapers to choose from, but I don't see the option to use your own photo as the wallpaper. I'll explore -- maybe I just dont' see it.
