Sadly(?), I just couldn’t resist and had to order an iPad. No, I didn’t stand in line for the WiFi only version, I want the real deal 3G version. My rationale is simple, I cycle a lot and may not be near a WiFi hotspot, but there are few places on the island I can’t get a phone signal; they do exist though.
In any case it seems like it would be whole lot more fun to lug around an iPad than a netbook, especially since mine weighs several pounds. No, the iPad isn’t a featherweight, but it’ll be a much better fit. At least I should be able to answer my email more easily than with my iPhone (which is really past due for an upgrade).
Of course I probably won’t get my iPad (late April) before I go camping this month, but hey, you can’t have it all. In the meantime here’s the answer to the question everyone must be asking…
Aloha!
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
