After working with the iPad all day, she gave it a thumbs down. I've erased all the data, and we'll send it back tomorrow.
The main issue is that it really isn't a standalone computer. We can't print anything without jumping through hoops. She can't access folders on my networked laptop without purchasing another application. She finds that there are things that she can't do on some web sites.
Part of it may be that she doesn't like learning the new ways of doing things. The few minutes of playing with it at a store really weren't enough to evaluate it.
So, next it will be between a laptop and a netbook.
