I got the call on Wednesday evening, and was picking it up at Best Buy seconds after the store opened on Thursday. Why didn't I pick it up on Wednesday you ask? I tried, they wouldn't let me.
Just like bringing a baby home from the hospital, this little bundle of joy demanded diapers and a nursery--or at least a protective sleeve and a spot on the desk. I haven't taken care of the sleeve yet (I plan on getting crafty so stay tuned), but I did learn that a cheap-o business card holder will sub in as a stand, so off to OfficeMax I went. It turns out none of the business card holders alone could hold up the iPad when it was vertical, so I went with this guy.

It is strong enough to hold the iPad up on my desk vertically and horizontally.

And it also holds my desk stuff.

| Multi-use! |
So I can get rid of my mug-of-pens, leaving my desk looking like this:
 |
| Sleek, huh? |
So far I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I had a Skype meeting on it already, which was a breeze, and I purchased QuickOffice (docs, spreadsheets, presentations) and iCab mobile (Safari alternative with tabbed browser and downloads) with a gift certificate to iTunes left over from Christmas. Plus, the iPad is already getting along quite nicely with what is now Chris's iPod touch. Here they are, chatting about being super-skinny, super-sexy gadgets together on the coffee table.
