If you know my love of gadgets, you know I have little restraint when it comes to new gadgets and can rationalize bying one with the best of them. Well, today I went to the Apple Store to take a test drive (read: play) with the new iPad. Oh boy, I didn’t realize how much I’d like it. It’s smooth, fast, easy to read, and I can only imagine how nice it would be to watch a movie on it while travelling on a plane. Using Safari poulios.com looked great (check it out here and type in my web address, typing wasn’t bad either, like many people thought it would be. My theory, if you need to write a long email, use a computer. The iPhone works with short emails, the iPad is somewhere in the middle. There’s only one thing I think it’s missing, a webcam/camera, but that won’t hinder me from buying one. I don’t use the camera on my laptop very often and don’t plan to take the iPad with me on excursions just to take pictures. Either way, I’d guess about this time next year they’ll come out with version 2 with a camera. In the end – or is it just the first chapter – I showed restraint… for now, but am quickly rationalizing buying one every minute.

You had your day in the sun way back when, but somewhere along the way you forgot to refresh the gadgets. This seems to have happened when the 90′s rolled through and nothing changed at the turn of the century.
