... go go apple ipad ...

Wednesday, January 27, 2010, Apple announced their newest gadget, the iPad! To be honest with you, I am VERY excited about the iPad. Why you may ask? Well, those of you that know me: 1. I am a designer - so of course I am on a mac base platform; 2. I am in a love relationship with apple products. I love apple! (Think about it: 1. They don't tell me what to do, 2. They're easy and accommodate me, 3. Always loyal, 4. Never give me a difficult time. What is there not to love? haha ...); 3. Apple makes products and programs simple by using common sense. Think smarter, not harder; 4. I have been wanting a small laptop that I can use to carry ALL my music (being my large old school iPod finally decided to fry its hard drive; RIP), videos, play games, check e-mail, blog! (of course) and surf the web ANYWHERE. Just think! If I had an iPad right now, I could do a heck of a lot more blogs! More blogs = more thoughts, more inspirations, more interests and of course more fun. Ultimately, iPad = no more wasting time and more brain functioning. Yes, the iPad looks like a glorified iPhone, minus the phone part, but hey! who cares?! Plus! I love my iPhone and would not trade it in for any other phone. (Well, maybe trade it in for an upgraded 3GS! It is still an iPhone though!) iPads are going to be above and beyond the netbooks out there, yes, I know that is what Apple has marketed, but! knowing Apple, they will release the iPad and it can only go up from there. Plus, I've never heard of a promise that Apple has made to their customers and have not kept their promise. They are all about expanding the product their customers already have. I heard through the grape vine, the iPad is to be released sometime in March or April (possibly?). I can hardly wait! I'm definitely going to be one of those crazies that have to hit up the Apple Store as soon as they are released to try it out. Look out South Park Mall, here I come! I hope there will be an Apple representative booth at the HOW Design Conference I am going to in June! Only time will tell! If I do decide to get an iPad, goal would be to let it stay out on the market for a while to let them work out the main kinks. Maybe December 2010 Christmas gift to myself? We will see ... Plus, not like I have a spare $500 right now for a new gadet. (Don't forget I am a homeowner and now a dog owner too!) The only let down of the iPad visually is no webcam. So Apple, slap a webcam on there and you have yourself a buyer! Guess I better start saving now for an iPad!
