iGot It
Yes, I am one of those Apple evangelists and I’m going to catch a lot of crap at work for this on Monday from the hard wired Microsoft nerds, but I just couldn’t help myself. I had to get an iPad. It was actually a last minute decision. Friday, I was watching Charlie Rose and the iPad was the topic. They sold me on it. When I woke up early on Saturday, I decided go for it. I live right by an Apple store, so it was no big deal, and only had to wait for a little over an hour.
The past 24 hours has been a ton of fun. It’s a very cool device, perfect for consuming media and the perfect size. Browsing is fantastic, and it’s so fast. There’s a lot of cool apps, but I can’t wait for more. Netflix watch instantly is very nice. There’s a great NPR app, and Twitterific is well designed. The new interfaces for mail and calendar is a huge selling point, and I really can’t wait to use this at work. Not having to lug my laptop to meetings will be awesome. Not having to rely only on my iPhone, when I didn’t feel like lugging my laptop will be even better. The fact that this can just slip into my purse is the best of all.
It’s not perfect though. There’re could be more apps, there could be better productivity tools, and of course, more multi-tasking. I bought a low end one, because I know there’s more down the road.
I love technology!
Ps: this post was typed on the iPad. It definitely takes some getting used to, but it’s not too bad.
