*wavies* remember me? Yep it is Nan. I am soooo sorry that I have been lax with the blogging. I have been so busy mostly with THIS:
for my Mom's bday - I can't wait to see it printed! 35 pages of 72 fun pictures. I am really impressed with iPhoto printing products. The site is really easy to use and they look to have a quick turnaround. Will keep you up to date on this baby! If this works, this is totally a MUST HAVE.
Speaking of Must Haves, here are some fun Iphone Apps - my favorite one - a Reader app- I can not find the link nor the picture - but keep on the look out for it because it will compile all your feeds into one nice little app!
Besides the Reader like App - here are some other fun apps:
Yes you can say - well Nan, I can get these on the web - why need an APP? SIMPLICITY is the key - I don't want to remember all my techy and gossip sites - also it adds sites ! :)
Lastly. The iPad. *sigh*
I have to follow the techno world for a living so seeing information on the iPad is a daily occurrence. I can't hide from it because it affects so many areas of my business. Anyways - I find it fascinating the amount of passion some folks have for all things APPLE and their products. It is a cult at times. Not that I am complaining! I have found myself quickly succumbing to the cult of Apple. I find myself going over to people houses that use a Mac and wanting to reprogram their mouse because it doesn't have a right and left click. It is a sickness, I tell you.
Well the reason why I feel the need to confess this is that I am trying ever so hard to resist the first gen iPad. Apple are masters of PR and confidentiality - which fascinates me as well. They know how to play their followers and we are happy to play along. lol. People are guessing - will there be Flash? How can it work without Flash? Will there be other surprises that has yet to be annouced? Last minute deals that are *got to haves* - kinda like how Youtube did it right before the iPhone?
The first Gen wifi iPad should be available in less than 30 days - so bets are being made on when will be the first date to pre-order iPads. I have found myself *attempting* to rationalize an iPad but I still come back to - Nan? you are being so lazyyy.
So when will I pull the trigger? The following has to happen:
- more apps go to HTTP5 OR a miracle happens and Flash is installed on the iPad.
- price - it has to go down for the wifi and the 3g by $200 -300. I am still refusing to pay $130 extra for a fricken 3g chip. Seriously now.
- more of my crafty magazines need to get online. I am not the best book reader currently but if my crafty magazines get on there? oh boy. Will that not only clean up my space in my house I will be able to quickly index it. Just think of the organizing.
and I know there are even more excuses on why I should buy one but Dr. WHO is on... *SQUEE* xoxo Nan
