I love going to my son's soccer practice. As I am not the coach of his team, I can just sit back and relax. It is my time to just sit, to reflect, to day dream, and to use my iPad! Over the past few months, I have come to appreciate this device and how it has made an impact in my life. It has allowed me to do what I never had time to do... Read, reflect, and write!
There are a lot of reasons why I like using the iPad...
The battery last forever. I don't think I have been in a situation yet where it has shut down on me due to no battery. I can not say the same about my laptop.
The form factor of the iPad is perfect for every situation. It is very natural to have the iPad in my lap, on a table, or wherever. It would just feel awkward to be sitting at a soccer practice with my laptop. I don't feel that way about the iPad.
The ability to connect to 3G is extremely useful. I debated whether or not to spend the extra money for the 3G version of the iPad. If I already had a smartphone, I may not have opted for the 3G iPad. However, without a smartphone, the iPad fills that gap nicely. I love that I can turn on 3G for the months I need it, and turn it off when I don't.
I look forward to continuing to learn how to use this device. I am interested in setting aside one week this year when I will put my laptop away and only use my iPad. Can I only use this device and nothing else? We shall see!
