So I went out and got myself a shiny new iPad 2!
Me and a couple friends went out to the Chinook Center in Calgary, AB on March 25th to line up for the release of the iPad 2, and I finally got my grabby raccoon paws upon one -- and so far I'm really loving the thing.
Rest assured, I was among the skeptics when the first one was released last year, thinking "Really? That's really their new tablet?" -- but once I got an iPhone, I got used to the ridiculous practicality of having so much versatility in my pocket, and this is just a bigger, nicer, more powerful version. :3 It was definitely quite the financial investment, but a good laptop would run you as much, and this is definitely as practical, if not more for the circumstances under which it will be used. <3
Definitely no replacement for my desktop PC (I love you, Windows 7!), but I now have yet another window to feed my obscene dependance upon furry smut. I typed this whole journal on the thing while on my break, and it's touchscreen's pretty competent at it, by far better than any other portable device I've used -- but certainly no replacement for a proper fat keyboard~! l3

M11x>iPad "portability"-power-cost-effective-wise.
iPads are pretty, but when they cost the same as a netbook-sized gaming laptop, yeah..
I just never understood why an iPad would be "portable", it's seriously as much of a hassle as carrying a netbook with you, just probably more "easily available"; which is what makes iphones awesome.
Frankly, it depends on what you want to do with it, really. When I use a computer, even with my powerful PC desktop gaming rig, 95% of it's use these days is internet browsing, instant messaging, and things like Skype. Even with a netbook, you still have to boot the thing up, which takes different measures of time based on make, SSD, etc. With my iPad, I can just flip it's cover and it's on and ready to go, instantly. And since the 3G is built in and always active, I don't need anything like one of those portable internet stick things~!
I understand your point, but it's just that for the kind of lifestyle I lead, job I do, commute I take, and activities I do, the iPad fits in snugly and serve it's purpose well, at least in my opinion, more suitably than a netbook would -- not totally supplanting my phone, either! l3 Though the iPad is essentially a small computer, I still don't really see it as such -- really, my phone is no replacement for my iPad, which is no replacement for my laptop, which is no replacement for my desktop. They just all fit into various niche parts of my life in their own ways. l3
Not so practical, really~
I wonder why,
Also, you're barking up the wrong tree if you're trying to use the word 'gay' to mean something undesirable~ <3
hard.
