New tech toys are always great. I'd love to have them all. I just don't want to pay for them. I thought that I'd really like a ipad. Now I'm not sure sure. Not for the 10 inch size at least. What changed my mind? Having a 10 inch ipad in the house.
Laura has one through work and it was fun to set up. It's screen is very pretty. Hypothetically it is nice to play angry birds on (but I wouldn't install a game on someone else's work device...). It's just too heavy and awkward for me. Maybe it's what I'm used to, but I find it a lot more comfortable to surf for a while on a laptop. Sometimes reading sites that are set up for swipe transitions are nice, but it doesn't seem to make up for holding a heavy device.
I really enjoy my kindle. It's a nice size. I'll probably enjoy the next version that I'll get (in about 10 years) that will have a lit up screen. These things are all nice for consuming. Not very good for creating and typing. Like blogging. Or making long winded silly posts to social networking. Or tagging pictures or videos.
Sort story: my next device will probably be a very nice laptop. Probably not a tablet.
