The Top Ten Reasons Why I love my iPad 3G

The Top Ten Reasons Why I love my 3G iPad - the first 2 weeks.

1. It’s super portable – the iPad book size is just right, and it’s light – so I can throw it in my shoulder bag and I’m ready to go. I take my iPad everywhere. 

2. The internet is always on. Unlike a cell phone where continual coverage is essential, or else your phone “drops” the call, the iPad is also always on, but if you unknowingly drop service for a moment, you won’t even notice. For surfing the internet, a less than perfect service so far appears to be irrelevant. And when you do have wifi, connecting is a breeze. with built-in 802.11n, iPad takes full advantage of the worlds fastest networks. 

3. The touch screen is awesome. The touch screen is so responsive, it’s impossible to not want to turn it on just to play with the touch screen interface. It’s smooth like buttah. 

4. The Google Maps Interface is perfect. Search for anything, and the beautiful map is easy to read, easy to navigate, and easy to see exactly where you are using GPS.

5. Long battery life. If you adjust the brightness properly, you can have the iPad last all day long. That’s incredible. No more power cords to drag around.

6. Expense tracking. There are several apps that let you track expenses, however my favorite so far is Expense Tablet for iPad. Its easy to use interface lets me track my spending in a way that I was never able to do with a pen and paper. Most importantly, it calculates exactly how much I am spending a day. If that isn’t a wake up call, I don’t know what is. 

7. Instant power on. No waiting here. Hit the button, power up, pass code your way in to an infinite universe of fun and information.

8. It’s an instant conversation starter. People love looking at it, even touching it. Having an iPad is like being a member of a club that everybody is interested in. If you want to meet people, get an iPad.

9. Drawing is fun again. I love sketching, and the various apps make that completely possible. I’m just shocked by the things that I am able to do, the ideas that I can capture, and how easy it is to share my sketches once they are completed. It’s perfect for scrawling little love notes too.

10. Email is a breeze. It’s literally the perfect size to check your email. If you need to do some serious writing, then get the blue tooth external keyboard. I currently use the virtual keyboard in conjunction with the apple case.
