So long iPad
great device, no doubt. Still it was not for me. It became apparent on my last big trip to LA. I was traveling with a
MacBook Pro, the iPad, and a phone. It was just too much. I like to
travel light. And to have two computer like devices (almost 3) it
seems like overkill. Last year when the iPad came out I suppose I was caught up in the the
fever and got rid of a perfectly good iPod Touch to get the "pad". I
had fun with it, and it was a great thing. But just to have it ...
seemed like a waste. The only thing I did with it was read email and
play Angry Birds. Still the weight and size of it made it less than
portable. So, I reverted. I sold the iPad to a co-worker who needed one for the
holidays and I got some cash. I had a moment where I though about
getting the new MacBook Air, but again, another computer? I have one,
thanks. Therefore, I got a new 32 gb iPod Touch. I love it. It fits in my pocket. One thing the iPad will never be is
small and I like small. Getting on a plane I can slip it in my shirt
pocket and off I go. No more struggling on the plane to get it out and
balance bags and spill stuff out everywhere. I can watch movies,
listen to podcasts, play a few games, all in a nice tidy package with
no monthly fee. Plus, it takes videos and photos! Yippee! I am most pleased with it. I
feel like I can once again live up to my Twitter handle
"IntoTheTouch".
