Because my husband is made of awesome and win, I now have an iPad. Over the last few years, I’ve gone from disliking Apple products in general (due to being forced to use very slow Macs over my decade at uni) to owning quite a few – an iPod, iPhone, Macbook and now the iPad. What can I say – Apple make good consumer products.
I’m still in the process of setting up the iPad. I have video streaming, courtesy of Air Video, and rss reading via Netnewswire (the latter is completely awesome on the iPad; and I was also very pleasantly surprised to find that both of these were free upgrades, since I already own the iPhone versions).
The main reason for the purchase, for me, was to use the iPad as an eBook reader. So far, I have the Kindle, iBooks and Borders/Kobo apps downloaded, but I haven’t really played around with them enough to decide which I like. I shall probably blog about them a bit as I investigate further. I need to decide what eBooks I want to buy. Not that I technically need anything more to add to my to-be-read skyscraper right now, but still…
I’m dead impressed with the iPad so far, and I’ve barely scraped the surface of what I can do with it.
Though I did buy Plants vs Zombies. It kind of had to be done.
