More about the new toy.
Okay, I lied. I'm writing another post on my iPad. I'm really quite comfortable and speedy with the pretend keyboard. The only thing really holding up my speed is the extra work needed for apostrophes, and editing.
Some other things I've found the iPad to be great for:
- Video chat. This has been around for years on normal computers, but I've hardly ever used it, and even then rarely for social purposes. The iPad changes the experience drastically, There's something about being able to hold someone's face in your hands that makes the experience more personal, not to mention physically comfortable. Plus the audio quality is better than that of most cell phones. Eleanor and I have gotten good use out of this with her in Colorado.
- Sketching. Doodling on the touch screen with your finger is addictive, and programs like Art Studio Lite ($0) make it easy. Plus, the iPad facebook client I use lets you upload such images effortlessly, as you might have noticed from the stream of scribbles on my page. This may bode well, (or, depending on your aesthetics, ill) for Joe the Circle.
- Writing LiveJournal entries from bed. Hey, I didn't say it was a good idea, just easy.
