iPad Frenzy

Those pads just keep coming out. First, iPad. Then, iPad 2. It’s like, never-ending. I actually own an iPad, so when they say that they are coming out with iPad 2, I was like, for real?

To be honest, I really love my iPad. Seriously love it. Very underrated here. But at times, I do find some problems with it. You can’t Skype with it, or make any video calls, because there is no built-in camera at all! And I don’t think that you can actually connect the iPad to a standalone camera or something. So all-in-all, it’s kind of useless when you want to make video calls.

And I was wishing deep inside that I was able to do that.

And then comes iPad 2, answering my prayers. Yes, iPad 2 comes with a built-in camera, and is much more lighter than its predecessor. And thus, looks more sleek and slimmer!

Oh, Lord! That means that I have to go get an iPad 2! What will I do with my original iPad? Keep it the museum? Donate it to charity?

If there’s one thing I learn about Apple … is that they always come out with new gadgets almost every year, making it impossible to own the same gadget for at least 2 or 3 years!

But I think iPad is like, one of the greatest invention in history. I’m not kidding.

I do most of my reading on iPad. No more paperbacks. It’s so easy, and you can adjust the font or font size to your liking. I have a collection of iBooks, and it just gets better every time. And don’t get me started on magazines. Because they’re awesome on iPad! Full HD resolution, just like the actual thing! I’m just at a loss for words when it comes to iPad!

And for gaming, iPad’s really hot. You know, I’m one of those lazy people who hates turning on my laptop and then waiting for some PC game to load.

With iPad, it’s just so convenient. All you have to do is flick it on, and abracadabra! It’s switched on instantly! And you can just put it comfortably on your lap, or use its casing to make it stand or tilt at a certain angle. I bought two customized casings for iPad, and I’m loving them!

Yes, with iPad, playing games just feels like a whole new different experience! All the games, without a doubt, use touchscreen technology. Means that every thing that you do requires your finger, or either your hands shaking the device. It’s just so fun and easy and convenient that it makes you feel like it’s the new gaming device God or something.

I just love it.

And for writing my journals, I do it all on my iPad. At first, it’s kind of awkward using the touchscreen keyboard, but in time, I just get used to it. Of course, I think that typing on an actual standalone keyboard is much more easier, but I hope with practice, I’ll be able to type smoothly on my iPad.

And there’s so many apps you can use on iPad. You can calculate your BMI, or do financial planning, or calculate almost anything. And yes, you also have document apps such as word processors and presentation makers. But really, nothing beats the Microsoft ones. Maybe that’s because I’ve been using them for like more than a decade.

It’s just feels so weird stepping out of this comfort zone to the unknown world of Apple iPad. But I’m trying to embrace it. I don’t mind trying, or getting used to it. I’m gaga over iPad, so it’s worth it.

And the photo albums are superific! I’ve transferred some of my photos there, and they’re so awesome to view! With its pinching zoom-in-zoom-out and finger-slide viewing. It’s fast, easy, and the photos look HD real! I just love it! Totally!

And the Internet surfing is awesome! I mean, I practically do my Internet surfing on iPad almost all the time. My poor laptop. I feel bad for not using it. I mean, my laptop has been with me for so many years. Maybe it gets slightly jealous that I’m favoring iPad? Haha.

And you can also listen to music, just like on iPod touch! It’s just so amazing!

I use my iPad mostly to play games, surf the net, write my journals and do almost everything possibly insane on it! I mean, iPad has driven me insane. In a good kind of way. And yeah, I do most of my reading on iPad as well! It just feels so fun and different. And I admit it. I like it.

So iPad 2 will be out in the market next month.

I’m so tempted to get it. Can I part ways with my iPad? Can I? Can I?

I’m not sure, but I feel as though iPad 2 is calling out my name. Calling me so ever desperately to get it.

I mean, I really want iPad 2. Looks like I probably will kind of get it. I mean, it does have the camera function that I want. And it’s in HD! What more could I ask for?

The people at Apple have answered my prayers. Maybe this is the reason I should get it. It’s like fate, or destiny, or whatever you call it.

I’ll be an iPad fan for a long, long time.

Whether it’s 1, 2 or 3, or even more.
