How do I use my iPad?

iPad, by Albel.
This is my 2nd Day since I bought my iPad. I still love it and I still think this is one of the best thing since I bought my Sony TZ laptop. Probably about this time, you have to love so many reviews and articles and of course every writer either them or hate them, depending on where they come from and read their expectation. So what is my expectation? I think I mentioned in my previous message that I keep buying Amazon Kindle and have bought an iPod touch instead. I love my iPod and love all the apps added. However, certain thing does in the iPod touch is not appropriate.

This is where iPad shines.

To love iPad you have to break several paradigms. First it is not a PC or computer or whatever Microsoft has planted in our mind about Tablet PC. Second, it is not a PDA. It is actually better than that. It is a true MID device, a new digital lifestyle device that supposed to compliment our day to day job. Of course, day to day job is a very broad term and the interpretation can be vary. But these are what I think it is great for and this is why i love it:

  1. It is a great eBook device. I think the screen is beautiful, though not perfect screen for outdoor use. But I live my life so this is mostly indoor no big deal for me. The fact that I do not decide between which ebook reader I want is a big winner. & I still enjoy reading this book from Amazon Books by N B and now there are new ways of Apple itself. This is just great. There are some books that only certain formats and iPad is the most complete digital book reader.
  2. Perfect digital notebook device. I can now easily open up my Evernote or WordPress and start jotting my ideas and notes as if I am using a laptop but without all the excess baggage that I don’t need. The virtual keyboard is really pleasure to use with. I don’t even know why we needs the Bluetooth keyboard with iPad. Digital journaling is so awesome with iPad.
  3. Awesome Web Internet tablet. If you’re like me, I do most of my way “web” of work. Some people call it Web 2.0 applications, some call it software as services, these new era of web-based applications is to make our life much more convenient. Applications like Google Docs, Evernote, Freshbook, sales force are much easier to access now with IPAD. And you know who comes to this list? Microsoft Office 2010. Yes, we’re going to be soon able to use Word, Excel online. I do not need another laptop to do all the work. Every day I’ll have a device that allows me to connect to applications and the device is lightweight and easy to carry and most importantly has the battery power for almost “every day”, long use, the first time!
  4. Great device for social activity. From Facebook to Twitter, iPad has great apps for that or I don’t even need the apps as I can just fire off Safari and start to use the website instead. With the upcoming rumor of multiple-task capability on OS 4, these activities will becoming more pleasant.
  5. iPad is the new media pad! Viewing photo albums and music and video collection cant be better than this. iPad definitely going to find a good niche among the photographers out there. We can use iPad to show the proof of the photo or digital media (songs and videos). We can even plug in a VGA adapter to use the projector to showcase the media!
  6. Perfect combination of work and leisure. The list of apps are increasing rapidly. I can now do remote desktop through Logmein and at the same time play scrabble.

So that’s it, you have my reason why loves it. I am not saying that iPad comes without its shortcomings. There are some level of nuances that I think they will be addressing sooner or later. But if you do what I do on my list above, this device is definitely for you!

Let me know what you think.
