I recently concluded a short term blog writing gig where I got to research topics and supply personal reviews of the iPhone and iPad. I love my job!
Upon winning the bid for that job, I decided it was time for a new firm venture -- I went out and purchased an iPad. I had been wanting one for awhile anyway (much thanks to the contemporary house episode where Phil so desperately wants one for his birthday), so having found myself with an assignment to enumerate them was like a cosmic sign that the time was ripe for me to become the proud new owner of my very own Apple iPad.
My husband and I took the kids to Best Buy rather artlessly one Saturday afternoon (Him: "Hey, you want to go look at iPads at Best Buy?" Me: "Sure."). Of course, during the 30 diminutive drive there, we went from discussing merely finding at the iPads to trying to frame out if I should get the 3G or the Wifi. This is no diminutive debate since the distinction in price is about 0. However, when we got to Best Buy and found out that all the store had in stock was the 16Gb Wifi iPads, that pretty much ended the argument.
One of the major discussions about the iPad is where it categorically fits into the world of computing. It's almost like an old fashioned joke: "What's bigger than an iPhone, smaller than an iMac, and still has great apps?" I have to say that the iPad has become almost a late advanced appendage. I have it with me almost enduringly -- even (much to my husband's alternating amusement and, I think, jealousy) to the point where I oftentimes fall asleep in bed cuddling with it at night.
Why am I so weirdly obsessed with my new toy? Because every day I find yet an additional one way the iPad makes my life so much easier than it used to be. On this one perfectly sized handheld computing device, I am able to read a book (iBooks, Kindle), listen to music (iTunes, Pandora), play a game (check out Angry Birds or Plants vs. Zombies), write an narrative for work (iWorks Pages, Google documents), surf the Internet, read and write email messages, watch a movie (Netflix, iTunes store), and even help my preschoolers start learning to read (check out the Preschool app).
Now, if you don't have an iPad, you're probably thinking, "So what? I can do most of that on my Pc or iPhone." To some extent, yes, you can. But you can't do it nearly as easily, flawlessly, and plainly as you can with my one diminutive iPad.
The screen is abundance big sufficient to be able to make perfect use of the touchscreen capabilities of the Apple handheld devices. The onscreen keyboard is especially impressive -- I can even use two hands to do my own "iPad pecking" version of typing on a full-sized keyboard. I will add, though, that I did make the venture towards the keyboard docking station when I bought the iPad, an venture that I categorically suggest to anyone finding to buy their own iPad.
The true value and use of the iPad revolves colse to its suitable size, shape and weight. It's not too big or small, the perfect shape for retention or propping up on your knees, and surely not too heavy to transport. Iphones are great, but the smaller screen causes a lot of "fat finger"mistakes. Laptops are more suitable than a desktop to tote around, but they're still too cumbersome to categorically tour with, or to snuggle in bed to watch a movie on. No, only the iPad provides the absolute perfect size motor for multi-tasking use.
I have been in love with my iPad since the day I brought it home. However, as we prepare to get ready to go on vacation, my love has suddenly both deepened and strengthened. As the mom of three kids, you can dream how much extra stuff is needed to help keep diminutive ones entertained while traveling. Today when I was packing our carry-on bag I suddenly realized that now that I have the iPad, I won't have to lug a whole backpack full of extraneous items.
Gone are the books, puzzles, games, art supplies, etc. That usually weigh me down like a bipedal pachyderm. My iPad will be able to supply all of the general airplane ride entertainment by itself. There are kids books on my iBooks shelf, the Doodle Buddy app for my budding artists, iTunes movies loaded and ready to go, and dozens of games to play. It's a whole traveling entertainment law in one sleek 7.5 x 9.5 handheld screen. Fantastic!
If you're thinking about getting your own iPad, my advice is Hurry Up! Don't wait!! The iPad will truly revolutionize your life.
