You can change those things from the settings menu. By default it
tells you both characters and words.

so jealous that I don't have one yet!
I'm wondering though,
when you're typing does it read back the word to you so that you
know if you've spelled it right? Or will it read the character
you've typed after you lift your finger to verify that you've
chosen the correct character?

It's better on the web because it's more responsive, and it
handles content that the iPHone simply couldn't handle. The four
finger flick right and left thing is also very very useful in
Safari. It runs iPhone OS 3.2 I think, although it might be 3.1.
The OS has obviously been modified for the iPad though. The mail
app, for example, is just different. And yes, you can move
messages into folders, and the bug on the iPhone that prevented us
from using the delete button on messages is now gone.

Yes, iBooks works well. I've downloaded several books and they
all read just fine.

Hello all,
I will make a couple of points that seem interesting about
the iPad, because no one mentioned them in here before.
First of all, VoiceOver has been significantly upgraded. You
will notice some new sounds, and it handles web content much,
much better than the iPhone. For me it's kind of like going
from Leopard to Snow Leopard. We can now activate or
deactivate hints and change a few other options. When typing,
there is a new roter item that lets you choose between
standard typing and an other option (I think it was something
like one touch typing but the thing is charging right now so
I'm to lazy to check). One touch typing works great when
typing with one hand. You can just drag a finger around the
keyboard and when you hear the character you want, lift your
finger. That will type that character for you.
Most interesting of all is the new concept of "containers".
If this existed on the iPhone, I definitely missed it. A four
finger flick left or right will move you backwards and
forward through containers, which are basically sections of
the screen. On websites it works more or less like auto web
spots. This is very useful because the screen is much larger
and in programs such as mail, you actually have the screen
divided in two parts. One of them contains a list of
messages, mailboxes etc, and the other one contains the text
of actual emails. The four finger flick gesture allows you to
jump quickly through this type of things, without having to
read every single item on the screen.
I've been using this thing all day, and it basically feels
like a laptop. Having it on a desk is very comfortable for
typing. When in landscape mode, the keyboard is basically
real size. By now I'm basically able to put my hands on the
iPad as if it was a normal keyboard and type more or less
reliably. It will probably get better with time.
What I would say is that you might like the iPad itself more
or less, but what has been done with VO is really. really
great. Definitely worth trying.
This is all for now...>
