Ok, so I am writing this whilst getting tattooed. Literally. I just thought that it was a good way to demo just how easy it actually is to type on the iPad. So one handed with my left hand I am typing this post.
There are many reports out there saying that the iPad serves no purpose? I question if they have actually spent time with one, really spent time?
After just two short weeks I could not imagine life without it. Everywhere I need to, I have my stuff, this will improve even further when I get the 3g model, but thanks to clever apps, like this word press one, I am mr on the go.
It has to be said that a lot of what I have done on the iPad is also able to be done on a laptop or a phone, but not as easily. Take the current situation, i am balancing the iPad on one leg and typing , it just wouldn’t work balancing my MacBook. And my iPhone is too small to effectively type this fast and accurately.
So the iPad is exactly what steve promised, a device that did some things better than a phone and some things better than a laptop.
It does not replace either entirely, but in some situations it is the best device.
So let me tell you my very few frustrations so far….
1. The app store is not open. I know this is because they are not available here yet, but seriously where is the downside apple? You might make more money… What a shame
2. Following on from point 1… There seems some odd omissions, calculator? There has been one on every phone and computer in the last 20 years?… Did you forget? And a todo list, there is an awesome diary, how hard can it be to add a task list? I am certain when the app stoe opens there will be a 3rd party alternative, but I see these as things that should be here.
That is all I have for downside, upside there is heaps, but I don’t want to come off as a raving fanboy… Maybe it’s too late for that.
Any way, whilst I could keep typing… I am now in a bucket load of pain… So ..
See ya!
