Ok, so it has been a while since I wrote an update. I am very please with the iPad, infect I recently traded the Mac book to a friend in exchange for a Mac mini and some cash. I am extremely pleased with the iPad and how I seem to be able to do nearly anything. There are dome business related things that do have me get on the Mac mini from time to time but I have been spending about 98 percent of my time on the iPad. I bought the case that apple sells for the iPad and have been very pleased with it. I figure that the reason they did the edge the way that they did is that it gives you a little more padding. I can not wait for the ios 4 to come out do that I can better organize my iPad and the apps on it.
I am very pleased so far with how with the tap of an icon I can get to just about anything that I may need. I am debating on if I want to get the via adapter for the iPad to hook up to a monitor.
Hey apple, please make it so the adapter can charge the iPad while having a monitor plugged in, just like the component adapter for connecting the iPad to a tv!
Today has gone well so far. I reinstalled the iWork series on the ipad so that have the ability to work on documents, spreadsheets and such. My Mac is going to be repurposed and I think that I will let a family member use it for the term of this experiment. I am using a jailbreak on this only to be able to use multitasking. I play music in the background while doing other stuff. More to come!
End of day 1, truth be told I did end up using the MacBook to scan some pictures that have been taken through out the years. This is a project of mine that I have wanted to do for some time. But all surfing and chat went through the iPad.
So I have been seeing a lot of people asking, “can the Ipad replace a computer?”.
My answer is yes to an extent the iPad can replace a computer. Now with that being said let me explain a couple of things first.
1: to activate or setup the iPad you will need a computer, or access to one for about 5 minutes and that computer needs to have iTunes on it.
2: I definitely suggest that you use a computer at least once a month to do a backup of your purchases and data.
3: when updates come a available for the iPad you are going to need the access of a computer that has iTunes on it and an internet connection.
So I have decided that the only times I am going to use my computer is if I need it for work purposes or if I am making a video for YouTube. I am going to try and do all that I can with just the iPad and document it some along the way. I will try hard to make a daily post with the iPad as I did with this post.
Here we go!
