A FEW THOUGHTS

Yes, I gave in. Last week I bought the iPad – imported from the US ( of course only 3 months after I was there myself). The feeling is great! It is a great toy/tool/machine that really catches the eye as soon as you get it. Even though I am more of a Windows and PC guy I think that Apple do know how to make good user interfaces and user friendly designs. That is what they do best. The iPad works in most ways as the iPhone (without the phone) which I have had for about a year, only with a bigger and better screen. This of course improves everything. The typing is a lot easier due to bigger on-screen keyboard and the applications has of course a better interface by just being bigger and more clear and easy.

By now also signing up for Apple’s MobileMe service I also change certain details in how I work. All e-mails (accounts and archives), contacts, calendars and bookmarks are now available from, and synchronized between, both iphone, ipad, pc’s, servers and web interface. In addition I will use the MobileMe iDisk for sharing of more public files. For private files and files I need to transport with me I can use Evernote.

I have no problem seeing the iPad working as “travel laptop” from now on, and I look forward to discovering new areas of “tech-joy” with it…  Sometimes I can be such a geek…
