Two Weeks with iPad
It was two weeks with iPad as of this past weekend. Here are some of my observations. #1 - I am keeping way less content on my iPhone than I did before moving video etc to my iPad. #2 - I have not purchased any iPhone only apps since getting iPad. But boy have I blown some green on iPad apps of various uses. #3 - I have spent way too much catching up on Supernatural now that I have a small tv in my hands. Yup more $$ but worth it. It's a rocking great show. #4 - I love reading my magazines and books on iPad. Though it can be a little tedious getting pdf downloads of various Forensic and Security magazines. They really need to embrace authenticated RSS feeds. Then I can automate the download and syncing onto my dropbox account where it's easy to open the PDF on my iPad. #5 - Developers need to get certain apps updated for iPad. 2X bites for things like IM clients. #6 - The camera connector kit works great for photos and audio. But the iPad is NOT a true 720HD player. I can copy from my Kodak Zi8 camera onto the iPad, but not play the video till I sync it back to my Mac with iPhoto. #7 - iPad doubles my iPhone battery life. Because I am rarely carrying my iPhone around the house any more. Heck I realized I left the house without my iPhone the other day. Then I realized it was in my pocket. I had forgotten it was even there. I was taking iPad to the coffee shop for some reading and hot tea relaxation. #8 - iPad battery lasts a really really long time. I only have to fully charge it about every other day. And that is with watching a couple of episodes of Supernatural each night before bed.
