The future of portable

I bought my pad 1 month ago. I thought before I got it that a laptop and a treo phone were all I would ever need. But then after owning the pad I am ready to chuck the treo for a small phone and my laptop well its too big for real portablitly around the house and town. Plus my laptop is way too fragile...cant tell you how many times I have hit a door with its. Once needed a new screen! The Pad has done way more for me then I ever expected it to and I would highly reccomend it to anyone looking for an all in one device that can change the way they comute and work. Currently I have got music on my pad and videos....that was a no brainer and works as one would expect. What it also does is allow me to control all my remote control devices around my house. Its simple setup allows me to have full tv control in my my three rooms that have entertainment systems in it. Not only does it control the devices, but I swear its respose time just flipping channels on cable is faster than the actual cable remote. I also used to use a logitech remote that I thought was the best ever until I realized my pads potential at this. One Large touchscreen gives me access to every button I need on one screen. I even got it to control my lighting in the house (I have infrared activated lighting by lighttroller in most rooms). Plus my logitech did not allow me to surf the web while controling my tv and checking email and more.

The beuaty of the pad is that while doing the above mentioned, I can still of course check email and browse the web from anywhere. Not only that I have a pool and though it is too cold right now the pad is splash proof and a perfect tool for surfing next to water. I have tested this theory while my wife gives baths to my young infant son (better know as splash boy while bathing!). Also being a fervent hater of internet explorer I was excited to see that the pad utilizes the far superior firefox browser for surfing and with its large screen it is a REAL surfing experience unlike a treo (dont know why they even sell that thing with a web browser...they should call it a web let down).

The pad has some other features...my wife (sadly) likes to read ebooks....only sad cause she does it with MY pad :) The pad also allows me to write and store text files for use with microsft word later. Something I need to do for work. The keyboard on either side is very easy to get used to...it only took a day before I was typing as fast as I do with a regular keyboard (plus I hear you can buy a keyboard for it if you need one). The internet radio feature also works great...especially since the built in speakers actually sound better than the ones on my laptop and certainly my treo. Pepper also sends the device with some wonderful preset choices so you dont need to configure it to do this...it does it right outta the box.

Another feature that is great for me cause I work out of my home a lot is that I need to constantly be checking IM and email in order to stay intouch with the office and clients. The pad is by my side when in bed, I take it in the bathroom (yes yes I do)....and can even use it while I "pretend" to work and am at my neighbors house. The pad has a great chatting tool that is compatible with my aim account and allows me to instantly know when someone is contacting me...people actually think I have no life and am always by my computer...but the pad has only made it appear that way....and why not....isnt that what working from home is REALLY about?

The pads batteries last me all day and I love the fact that there is no boot up time. The pad turns on instantly like the treo...and unlike any laptop. My only complaint about the pad is how do I stop my wife from borrowing it? hah. Guess it might be time for a second Pad! oh well no device is perfect :)

Bottom line, try the pad and you wont be sorry. I am a computer guy and love it, but I also see it being great for someone who just needs simple computing capabilites and does not want to be burdened by virus/spyware prone pc's or complex setups. The pad was so simple a manual is toatlly not needed. Once you recieve it, it asks a few questions and off you go. It reads my cameras sd cards and hooks to my pc for syncing with my necessary stuff when I need to. Its the ultimate toy..now all I need is a new cell phone and I am set.

One other thing that I like....when I do travel with the pad....people stare...people ask...what is that? then I repeat what I just said above. Its cool factor is also a 10!

PepperPad

I liked the Pepper pad but it was not very sensitive to WiFi signals. Because of this, I returned the unit and am awaiting a refund.
With the price of laptops dropping and having full compatibility with everything on the Web, I found the Pepperpad an expensive unit with little usefulness. The instant on and infrared remote features were in its favor but again, the weak WiFi capability caused me to say good bye to the Pepperpad.
