iPad is becoming more and more integral to my day-to-day life. Thanks to so many great applications that makes it possible. Obviously at home, the device has been the subject of “fight” between my wife, my kids and I.
If you have a 5 years and 3 years old like me, iPad becoming the first choice on the Nintendo DS and PSP, can you imagine that? You think they’ll choose NDS and PSP in a heartbeat, but the reality both devices are sitting around collecting dust now. The variety of activities that start from the IPAD is much higher. For example, tell me how many games in NDS preparing for education? The last time I check, I could not find a game in NDS or PSP that will teach your child to read or pronounce! This is incomprehensible to me. For these games, I have to buy my children Leap Frog system that the screen is so sub-par compare to what they get from IPAD.
As for my wife, she enjoy reading books and surfing the Internet. With iPad, it does not need to carry over his Sony TZ (she is still using because I have to take the IPAD away from his time working). Now she is asking me to buy another iPad just for her. She could not wait to share more! Oh I forgot to mention, she is a player and plants vs. Zombie and Traffic Rush are his favorites!
For me, I use it daily for iPad task for many. Simple navigation, remote desktop for my PC, emails, twitter, and more. And the things I do with IPAD are growing every day. Just today, I bought an application called Air Display that allows me to use my IPAD as my second screen for my Mac! For only $ 10 (the cost of software) and I get a second monitor, what a bargain. Reading documents in my business IPAD is a pleasure. Even with my life “offline” in Indonesia, with appropriate applications installed (offline browser, iCab, GoodReader, DropBox), I’m ready.
Now all I need is to wait this fall where OS 4.0 becomes available to my iPad. I will definitely looking forward to see how multi-task will enhance my experience even more with my iPad!!
