Before, I thought of the iPad as a hypertrophied iPod touch. It still is, but with more functionality. Aside from being an e-book reader, gaming console, digital picture frame, and being able to surf the web, check emails, watch movies and TV, listen to the internet radio and you iPod music, and social networking, it offers more. In fact, more and more medical schools here in the US use this not only as, say, their atlas for anatomy, but also transcripts of medical notes (pdf and doc files). If you have so many pdf and doc files and books like me, this is a good gadget for you especially for those professionals who do not want to carry so many things. I use these functional apps for my work: Pages and Goodreader, to name a few. I got the 64GB wifi + 3G for $830 (of course, plus tax of 10%). My first choice was a 16GB wifi-only model, but Best Buy only has this top of the line model. What compelled me to purchase this gadgetry? I wanted to get rid of my Nokia Booklet 3G. I love reading stuff – be it educational or otherwise. Reading my books on my iphone4 strains my eyes too much. I’d rather have the full experience of an e-book reader. It is also ideal for reading/ watching the news. By the way, months before, I was supposed to buy the Amazon Kindle. Good thing I did NOT buy it. I was contemplating on buying a Sony, Nook, or a Kindle. All of them disappointed me because they’re all TOO slow. Mind you, I really went to Barnes and Noble to try the Nook. Nook’s nice but is really slow and is known for its “hiccup” moments. I went to Best Buy to try out the Sony E-reader. It is slow as well. But with the iPad, the experience is totally different (it’s amazingly very responsive and fast especially on wifi). Does it cause eye-strain when reading? No, because you can adjust the screen brightness and the display (Sephia, Black, or White) to make it softer and more pleasant to the eyes while reading. I also use this to read the Bible (you have to download it from Amazon) be it in Church or at home. What are the cons? Undeniably, cost for most. There is no built-in camera. You have to buy an Apple adapter for you to be able to use your camera. No SD slot, but Apple sells a separate adapter for the SD card slot. The iBookstore App is inferior to Amazon Kindle App for the ipad and iphone. I use the Kindle app more because they have more variety. I tried to find the meaning in the alleged and seemingly “useless” device for some. In my opinion, this computer is very functional. In fact, I use my iphone4 less and less. The fact that this computer tablet is gaining ground in US universities, churches, and the business world, Apple and third-party developers will try to make it more and more purposeful.
