No, sadly, I don't have one. For the definitive review, check out [John Gruber's article simply titled 'The iPad'](https://daringfireball.net/2010/04/the%5Fipad?ref=chrisenns.com):

> After the iPad was announced, I got two types of emails from readers. The first group saying they were disappointed, because they had been hoping I was right that The Tablet would be Apple’s reconception of personal computing.  
>  
> The second group wrote to tell me how excited they were because I was right that The Tablet would be Apple’s reconception of personal computing.  
>  
> Count me in with the second group. Apple hasn’t thought of everything with iPad, but what they’ve thought about, they’ve thought about very deeply. I got mine Saturday morning, and I’ve been using it since — or at least as often as I could [get it away from my son](https://www.flickr.com/photos/gruber/4487367853/?ref=chrisenns.com). Here are my thoughts.

I stand by my [earlier](https://chrisenns.com/2010/01/28/waa-waa-ipad-is-such-a-fail/) [assertions](https://chrisenns.com/2010/01/30/one-more-ipad-post/) that the iPad is going to be a \_big\_ deal.

I heard on CBC radio this morning that the entire tablet PC market last year was around 1.5 million (*I don't have anything official to back that stat up so your mileage may vary*). Apple has unofficially sold [over 500,000](https://labs.chitika.com/ipad/?ref=chrisenns.com) iPads in less than a week - and that's before the 3G mobile data plan equipped models are available.
