The iPad

Being a lucky CreComm student that I am, the ad majors are even a luckier bunch to receive iPads for the year, shared with a partner at no additional cost. This past week, was my week with the iPad and I have to say that, that I keep messing up on my normal keyboard now when I type. The keys from a PC to a Mac, to an iPad are in totally different places. Other than that, I prefer the iPad for note taking for its convenience and simplicity. Hey, it's nice not to have a white screen looming at me either.

As for the apps, I'm not all that big into the app world. I had no idea even where to find the store once I got it. Once, I figured it out, I downloaded a few, like yes yes Angry Birds ( I thought my son would be the coolest five year old if he knew how to play it). I downloaded this ridiculous app called Capture which allows you to place a ghostly image into any photo on your iPad. Haha! Can you say cheese? It's totally corny and I would never make anything for real with it, but I did play around with it one lunch hour last week.

I am pleased to say that I found a great branding book off of Kindle that I want to purchase, although for the life of me I can't remember the title, nor can I check it out now because... I don't have Wi-Fi :(  So pretty much at home, I don't get all that much use out of it, and at school, I don't really have time to browse apps.  However, I'm sure that will soon come to an end once we start developing the ideas for our own e-book apps as part of a major collaborative assignment. Sounds exciting!


Just in case you didn't know
