Second review of the iPad

Rico says some things are good at what they do, and then there's the others...
For a couple of weeks, both in Massachusetts and at home (until he got the modem working again), Rico used his new iPad as his primary computer:

So, like everything else in life, fitting the tool to the job is important:

You can drive a tack with a sledgehammer, but you can't drive a railroad spike with a tackhammer.
