I was considering an iPad... Still am, for that matter. I went to check it out at Best Buy but it wasn't all that great. Plus, it's SO expensive!
Do you guys have any ideas for Tablet PC? Or maybe someone can offer an opinion regarding iPads, Tablet PCs, etc? Show me links! I need something fast, accessible, easy to write on, etc.
Fountain pens are really nice? I bought one today to work on my caligraphy.
But foreal, don't buy the iPad. It's hard to type on for long periods of time. You can't do multiple things at once (ie. listen to music while web surfing). It doesn't support flash, so you'll be forced to pay for things through iTunes. What is it for anyways? School?
If you already have a desktop, I recommend netbooks. They're super small, portable, easy to type on. If you need a standalone device, get a macbook. They're just sweet all around. : )
Dude, it's not just a bigger version of the iPod. There's more to it. You can actually use it for notes and writing, etc. The Pages feature on the iPad an serve useful. Especially at my school, it'll be perfect for my needs. *continues to console myself and my decision*
I warned her. She got influenced by her work colleagues and constant TV ads. My mums opinions don't matter. She once bought a hand held PC. She now uses that as a GPS. May Allah SWT bless her. lol
She mainly uses the Ipad for banking, accessing online material and presentations. She finds the presentation app on Ipad easier to use than MS ppt software but then again my mum is computer illiterate. She does not know how to add a new slide on MS ppt soft. Even then Ipad does not fulfil all her needs. She has to fulfil her word and excel needs on a standard computer. This is because like everyone she is not prepaid to learn a whole new way of using spreadsheet and word.
The Ipad apps keynote, Numbers and Pages does not provide it’s users with all the MS word, excel or presentation features. I take it you’re a student, in which case you’ll most probably need all the features you can get.
I'll tell you what Ipad is good for.
Ipad is good for watching DVD quality youtube videos (you’ll need a super fast internet connection), playing arcade style games and browsing the internet but then again so is your computer. Oh and did i mention all the good apps on Ipad cost you moneeyyy?. This has money making scheme written all over it.
Buy a notebook laptop or better still hold onto that Ipod.

But no, really. I feel on many occasions it might serve useful since it loads faster etc. With your duas, inshallah I'll be buying one today or tomorrow. I found a good deal, such that I can resell it for the same price, if not more insha-Allah!
