iPad: "Beep. Boop. Beep. Boop. Beep. Boop. Beep."
I bought an iPad this weekend in NYC.
Well, because I want it. Oh, and because of the following reasons:
It is easier to travel with... Very light in my purse. I most likely don't ever travel with my Mac anymore. I'll just take this. Watching movies on it kicks ass. I watched a 90-minute film yesterday while waiting for my flight. It looked beautiful! The battery life does live up to the hype. Said 90-minute film only had up 7% of the battery's juice. Had I watched the same film on my Mac, I would have about 20% of the battery left. Books. I haven't downloaded any yet... But I intend to. And I don't already have a Kindle. So this serves an amazing purpose... As I like to read A LOT. I often kick around on my iPhone in the evenings at home... Shredding through the battery juice. This thing is easy and portable, and so I prefer using it while watching TV or laying in bed.
I had to. Because (and I can not stress this enough)...
"Apple owns my soul."
I walked into the Apple store in NYC, having never even touched an iPad before... And five minutes later, I walked out of the store with a 32-gig version, and "grip" cover and a case.
I like giving inanimate objects their own sound effects. And because this is a serious piece of wonderful and unnesscessary technology, I like to make it sound really "high tech" by saying, "Beep. Boop. Beep. Boop. Beep. Boop. Beep." whenever I press something on it.
I know some people don't understand the iPad. "Why would you need one?" And this is a fair question. I already own two Macbooks, an iPod Nano, iPod Touch and iPhone... Why could I possibly need this?
Well, because I want it. Oh, and because of the following reasons:
I am sure I will have more wonderful things to say about it in the coming weeks. But so far, I am loving it.
Comments
I like this because of its ease. Instead of booting up my laptop while watching TV, or using my iPhone while watching it (and run up the battery), I just flip this on and get to tweeting and reading.
Plus, if you like to travel a lot (like I do) this is so much easier to walk around with that the laptop. Starbucks, airplanes, cars, boats... Wherever you are going and wherever you are, it's just easier.
hmmm, I know you're the lucky owner of both, Missus... but if you could have ONLY one, what would you? the Ipad or the Balenciaga Giant City?
