My iPad and me...

Passing through the Duty Free Stores at Auckland Airport in late April, I bought an iPad2. In some ways it's just an expensive toy. But in other ways it's transformative. I access and use information and resources in a totally different way since getting it. I send and receive much of my email on it now, and download documents to store and read on screen. Sometimes I play with new apps for the fun of it, just to try out and see if they are useful or interesting. The good ones, I keep; others, I delete and look for alternatives. Lack of Flash is a drawback, as is the ability to use browsers besides Safari, but these are small points. The major part of my interface with the world wide web now is mediated by the iPad. Something significant is going on here.
