Evolution... like the dinosaur

I bought an iPad.
Yep. Me.
As you know I'm not a fan of Apple -- it's just a trendy version of Microsoft. Yet people think MS is evil but Apple is "cool". Sure. And I'm also a big fan of Linux for the indie computing.

The iPad is a worthwhile toy. And a step into the future.

I got to play with Jason's Sat night and it is fun. So after some research later that night, I went out Sunday to the Apple store in Columbia mall (good day for a topless drive and I actually got sunburned a bit) and was in and out in 5 min. Seriously!

Aside from games and Internet & email, I also am using it as a digital and portable sketch book. I downloaded Adobe Ideas, vector-based drawing, as well as Sketchbook Pro for a few bucks. SBP has many different brushes, options, and layers. =) Plus the file can be saved as a Photoshop psd project file...

I also set up a few things like I'm used to at work so I can remote into my home PC using the iPad. That could be useful when I'm out & about... ;P

The keyboard is nice. No more typos than I get with a normal keyboard.
Yeah, I typed this entry on the iPad.

More impressions of it to come...
