    The iPad: Consumer Reports' first take

    Consumer Reports News: April 03, 2010 03:06 PM

    Our shoppers were near the head of the line at the Apple store this morning for the Apple iPad. Having arrived at 6 AM, they were among the first to walk out the door with the tablet that has created so much excitement and controversy. The iPad has been in our labs for awhile now. In this video, you'll see some of the first tests we're going to be putting our iPads through, including:

    • How does it feel to use an iPad?
    • How does it compare to an Amazon Kindle as an e-book reader?
    • What if I want to use it in bright light? Or in a dark room?
    • Do I need any special equipment ot use it?

    Please weigh in below with any ideas for what we ought to test on the iPad, as well as anything you've already found out about it by trying it out at home.
