iPad

Apple iPad

The word's out. The buzz is all about the new Apple iPad, a tablet device. But why would I tell you all about it, when Apple has a great page about this online: http://www.apple.com/ipad

A revolutionary device for browsing the web, reading and sending email, enjoying photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, reading e-books and much more.

I won't be saving money to get one for myself. I don't see this being useful - for me. First I'd like that MacBook Pro. Then maybe some other gadgets. I already have a great tablet to draw and other than that I don't see the iPad fit in my life very well. It's too big to be a gadget I just carry around. I'd be too afraid to damage the thin device.

How about you? Are you excited about the iPad? Are you going to buy one? Or, if you can't, save for one? I'm pretty curious. Over at Plurk, my buddies seem to have many different opinions. Some say it's another device they are not going to buy, others say they need it asap! I'm very curious to hear if you are planning on buying one and why, what are you doing to use it for primarily?

Due to piles of work, some obligations and other general busyness during the last few weeks, I wasn’t able to write my editorial. But I’m back now baby!

The agonising road to Macness - First time

Submitted by Wouter on Wed Dec 23, 2009 - 0:44

Macs have had a very unique look for quite a long time. Not only do they look pretty, but their design certainly sticks around in your memory. For one, I can remember quite well when I used a Mac for the first time, but not with Windows, or a PC for that matter…
