iPad day 2

Today is day 2 with iPad. So far my experience are great. I have a ROM shoot for my friend today which presented an opportunity to test it in the area of photography. I don't have much app installed on my iPad, just a basic photo editing app by the name "PhotoPad". With it I'm able to do editing like cropping, simple color level adjustment, filter effects, etc.



I don't think it can replace a full computing device yet, but as a portable device for on the road usage it is much better than a net book. Ps: to use this as an photo editing device you will need to get the camera connector kit which comes with a sd card reader and a USB port for connection to your camera. Sadly these devices does not work on iPhone.

iPad day 1

After the initial setup and sync and apps installation (an experince that is no different from iPhone, which is a fantastic one by the way) I finally got my iPad with the minimal apps necessary for a test drive. After at least 3hrs of handling the device my initial thoughts are:

1. While it's weight can be felt it is definately not heavy. Just close to a thick hardcover A4 size textbook in terms of weight.

2. The black border around the screen is a very well thought and practical design. Making it very comfortable to hold the device without covering the screen area.

3. Typing on the iPad is a pleasure.

4. iPhone apps on iPad while not displayed in full HD resolution is acceptable especially for games.

5. iPad can connect to any wireless point, too bad Apple restrict apps that turn iPhone into a WiFi spot (no issue if your iPhone is jailbreak). Otherwise you could easily save a couple hundreds and skip the wifi+3G model.


That's all for now, will update more as I try out the iPad in different situations (eg. Meeting, presentation, photography/video editing, etc.).

My last ICT
