Dont buy anything from Apple...
... Yet
The World wide developers conference happens on 7th June - there will definitely be new stuff - at a guess a new iPhone, update to iPad software to fix teething problems and there is always a drop in prices. My latest purchase is an app called Blogpress - allows me to blog straight from the phone including formatted images and tags - keeps my kids mums informed... iPad on order - Michael brought one back from America and it is a thing of beauty - has some bugs though, cant type into some text fields on web pages  - they'll fix it with a software update but its an inconvenience...

As much as I'm tempted, I'm holding off on the iPad. I wonder if this year's new 4G iPhone will lead to next year's 4G iPad. I went to a friend's home last weekend for a barbecue and I saw his. Folks were in awe as they passed it around. Leslie got real nervous.

Ben - I have persuaded my current employer I need one so it'll be 64GB 3G and all the peripherals - cover, camera adapters, VGA connetter, power supply - I held off on the docks as the ipad doesn't dock in it's cover - I'm sure they'll fix that - the cover is ace!!
Having spent tim on the iPhone the virtual keyboard is simply luxurious. It is an amazing thing to use - it's the computer for the living room handy but inconspicuous - when you're not using it it's a digital photo frame - if yo have kids no need to buy an in car DVD for long journeys, if you're fed up of tv read a book, great for films on an aeroplane, or even watching something worthwhile whilst she who must be obeyed is watching the soaps. |

I do this with my television. It cost me the cost of a cable, €7.

 I have the same discussion with my son as we flick from ordinary TV to HD - the story is still the same, but the emperors new clothes fit me fine!! See you to discuss at length a fortnight tomorrow - ash cloud permitting. |
