Camera + iPad
While in the car driving home, my mind was on some different topics. The drive home took 45 minutes despite it being no more than 20 miles in distance because it was rush hour. I have rarely driven north on 880 from Fremont to San Leandro because I've always disliked how the cars pile into the highway at peak times.
I bought the iPad Camera Connection Kit and was thinking about how it could be worth the price ($29), and I realized that it's worth it because there could be many occasions where we'd want to send a picture to someone and were hampered by the fact that we had to have a laptop with internet connection. And if we wanted the pictures in the iPad, we'd have to plug the iPad to the laptop and upload the pictures. In this case, I would have to endure iTunes. The strange dialectical dance could be eliminated by the synthesis--the kit that allowed direct upload to the iPad. It answered the question with a resounding "Yes!" and not a "Yes, but ..."
I've already used it, and it is already an astounding convenience. The pictures that I've been meaning to upload to the iMac, but were too lazy to do so after returning from the trip, I've already done with ease. And if I bring them with me, I'd be more likely to upload the pictures during the trip rather than after it.
