Apple iPad

Apple has done it. Today Steve Jobs was back to introduce the iPad. It was good to see him back at it. I wonder if this might be his last “big thing”. I think the iPad falls between the iPod Touch and the MacBook. It’s bigger and better than an iPod Touch but smaller and not as powerful as a full size computer. I think it’s amazing. Of course I want one.

I’m sure you’ve already read or heard about all the things it can do and what features it has so I won’t go over them here. You can always head over to Apple and read about them for yourself. Or watch the video about it, it’s pretty cool. I will say though that I’m a little disappointed that it doesn’t have a camera built in. I like all the other features though. The size of the screen is perfect. I think it’s time I give up my Kindle and get the iPad. I have the iPod Touch but the screen is too small to do all things I want to do with it. I barely use it anymore. This screen is the right size to do what I want to do on the go. There is a version that offers the 3G option but I won’t pay a monthly service fee for that. I’ll rely on the wifi for online things.

They aren’t available yet but by the time they are, I might have my tax refund back and able to buy one. We’ll see.

Day 294 of 365

Apple introduces a bunch of new things today. The one that excited me most was the new 27″ iMac. It’s huge, fast, fancy, and cool. If I hadn’t of just gotten one last March, I’d be ordering one right now! Isn’t it beautiful?

In the process of moving the blog to a new web hosting service, I lost the picture that goes with this post.
