I have been a PC guy for 23+ years but today that may have all changed. I saw a preview of the new Apple Ipad. It seems to do everything that I need it to do from surfing the web to reading a book. It claims to have a 10 hour battery life which is terrific.
I was thinking about purchasing the Kindle from Amazon but why would I want to spend $230 for that when for just $499 I can surf the web, have thousands of apps available to use. View photos, send email, watch movies, etc.. etc.. I know that I want one and I want it now.
I’m in exactly the same position Barry. I think it fills a needed niche – for those times I just want to surf and not really type a lot. Then when I want to type a bunch I can hook up the external keyboard and as Jobs said “write War and Peace.” Good news is that it isn’t available right away so we have some time to make a decision just in case we got too hyped up with the launch.
Seems like a nifty thing to me!
Hope your smoking/diet thing is going well!
