iPad for a day was interesting

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

I don’t know if it was a resounding success but it was definitely functional. The worst part of the day was getting off of the train. I had my bag, iPad and headphones to deal with when the stop arrived and my departure was definitely not as elegant as when I have my iPhone.

The keyboard dock at work was key to doing any chat and email. I still don’t have a good (free) rss reader on the iPad so all of that goes through work. Which is probably a good thing as it keeps me focused at work.

I did bring out the iPad to a bar last night and I must say it shined very well there. It was super fast in looking up bar conversation trivia and let me chat pretty effortlessly with Su.

iPad for an iPhone

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Today I left home without my iPhone. Why? What Lunacy crept into me over the night?

The short answer is that my iPhone is having all kinds of stability issues and this morning I decided to wipe the slate clean with a full factory install. And in order to get to work at some reasonable hour I had to leave the phone to probably keep syncing for another hour or two. (was that the short answer?)

Anyway, this should be an interesting test of the wifi only iPad. This will allow me to read email and chat at work. The only downside is no SMS. But between all of those chat programs on wifi I should be able to coordinate all of my post work activities while still at work.

Trying out a new blogging tool

Not a very interesting post, but this post was written with MarsEdit 3.0.  It’s a full blown desktop application that seems pretty cool.  Definitely makes integrating pictures and other media far easier.
