Saying Goodbye to my iPad – Is there an App for that? (via Mobileman)

Too many drawbacks for this gentleman. He gave it the old college try.

Since my iPad loaner period is about complete, its time to record what I like and don’t like about the sexiest device to hit the market since….. well probably ever. If your main activity is light web browsing and email, the iPad is in your sweet spot. The apps that are made specifically for the iPad are really few in number, so Safari and Mail will likely dominate your use.

I’m a MAC :D (via Burn my Photo)

Another switcher. Willing to give the Mac a try.

Hi guys, it seems that I'm a MAC now. After so many years using Windows OS computers, and after my last "PC" died, I've decided that I wasn't going to buy another one. But if I still needed a computer for work, fun or just stay in touch with the world, what were my options? basically one, just one. It took me a long time to convince myself into buying a MAC. Not that I don't recognize the quality, stability, lack of virus, lack of formats, lack o … Read More
