iPad
Downside to the day was I’d lost my voice so had to take the day off. Upside was that my iPad was dispatched a day early!
It is the most lovely piece of technology I have ever had the pleasure of holding. It’s sleek, sexy and fast. I opted for the 32gb 3G version. I have a nice case for it on order, but the Amazon delivery slot for it is 1-3 months which I think is just code for they aren’t released in the UK yet and they’re just guessing a time frame.
Oh and of course this post was written on the iPad with the WordPress app. I can actually type just as fast on here as a regular keyboard. The downside is I am making more mistakes than usual and the keyboard doesn’t have an apostrophe key. The iPad does compensate somewhat for this with it’s auto correction but it’s a little hard to get used to. I suspect practice will make perfect.
My advice is if you have the money to burn, buy one. It’s the ultimate tech luxury item. If you consume a lot of information and media that is internet or electronic in nature, get one. If you’re not sure then see if you can try one out at an Apple store, but beware they are hard to resist!
I had to walk past the Apple store on my way to work this morning, can’t quite understand the people queueing but I am very jealous of those that can afford one!
No I don’t understand it either. If they’re after an iPad they must have the Internet at home so they could have just ordered one! Also if you’ve got the time to que up like that you should have the time to wait at home for a delivery. I suppose some of them may have ordered and had them ready to pick up at the store.
They are pricey, and if I had not just managed to sell my Macbook for £500 I don’t think I would have bothered just yet.
