While I am thinking about becoming one of
the cool kids, I am not following
Uncle's lead on getting a tablet.
I was not tempted at all by the
slightly cheaper, ad supported Kindle. I never thought $135 sounded like a lot in the first place - even for a single purpose device.
And despite some who believe it is
killing America*, I ordered an iPad this week.
The wife wanted one for our daughter to play with on the way to the beach. I want to play with the
Ham Radio apps. I'll be curious to see how much it replaces the laptop. I cannot imagine doing blog posts from it. I do see reading books, watching videos, and reviewing my ever growing RSS feed list. I will probably carry it to church - lots of people are already using their Blackberry and Android to read the Bible.
*From the article, a quote: "But there is no protection for jobs here in America to ensure that the American people are being put to work.” I must have skipped that section in the Constitution. (And apparently everything I see right now is through "Ayn Rand" colored glasses, because this sounds like it could be a line from the book.)
