Media Bites-August 26 2010

I was just asked this week if I was considering purchasing and IPad. You see, I like to consider myself a 'first adopter'-someone that goes out and gets the latest and the greatest technology gadget to make my business and personal life faster and more productive. Apple came out with the Iphone-I was at the AT&T store signing up. Needed a new laptop-headed right to the Apple store and picked up my new titanium alloy MacBook. IPad is launched and I just cannot bring myself to spend the money on another device. It sure look sexy and fun to be able to zip through newsprint, buy books to read, watch movies ( and soon television shows as well) and at 1.5 pounds and thin its lightweight enough to carry anywhere. And with literally thousands of apps to download, I should be salivating over the prospect of owning one.( http://www.apple.com/ipad/) But its almost as if I want to love something and I just can't. Its not you IPad, its me. I'm happy with my Iphone and MacBook for now. But lets talk again in six months, maybe I'll feel differently then.
