The New iPad
Ok, I wasn’t going to buy a new iPad, but I did. I decided to sell my iPad 2 because I just wasn’t using it much. I didn’t pre-order the new one. I happened to go into Best Buy over the week-end, though, and saw that the screen resolution was so stunning. When they said that they had quite a few in stock, I bought the white, 64GB with WIFI but not 4G since I never used it on the iPad 2. Anyway, I love the enhanced resolution and the dictation feature. The iPad 2 is still an amazing iPad, but the New iPad just takes it to another level. Hopefully, I’ll use this one more than I did the iPad 2.

Apple iPhone 4S
I just received an
Apple white iPhone 4S with 32gb. I previously had the iPhone 4. I’m really enjoying the intelligent assistant, Siri. I use the voice recognition technology when talking about the weather, the calendar and appointments, contacts, phone calls, email, text, notes and reminders. Also, the camera is 8 megapixels with a faster image sensor, which makes it better in low light. The images appear crisp and clear. Last, but not least, there’s the more powerful A5 chip and the new HSDPA radio for 3G+ download speeds.

Mac OSX Lion
Did you install Apple’s Lion yet? Naturally, being the Apple addict that I am, I downloaded it on the first day in the first hour that it was available in the App store. Everything went smoothly except the Launchpad had doubled my applications, but I found a solution for that by reading the Apple forums. My favorite feature is Mission Control. I seldom used Spaces in Snow Leopard, but I think MC is more user friendly. I like not having multiple windows cluttering my desktop. I also like Launchpad. I’ve reduced the applications in my doc to four: Safari, iCal, Mail, and Twitter. Finder, Mission Control and Launchpad, and Trash are also there, but they aren’t applications.

My iPad 2
I ordered an iPad 2 yesterday. I chose the 64GB, WIFI/3G, black with red cover. I was persuaded by my daughter and everyone else who has one, so I hope it was a good decision. I really like my 15″ mbp, but it’s a bit heavy to take with me and I thought the iPad would be more convenient. I also bought a Gelaskins cover for the back and a clear cover for the screen. Gelaskins supplies a frame for the front, but nothing for the screen, except for a matching wallpaper. I chose the Blimp Girl design by Aaron Kraten for my iPad skin. If you have a chance, check out all the designs at Gelaskins.

2011 MacBook Pro
Ordered a new 15 inch MacBook Pro today. I’ve been waiting for the new Sandy Bridge processors for quite awhile. I usually get a new computer every 2 years following Intel’s Tick-Tock schedule. I also chose the solid state drive. Can’t wait to see if it’s as fast as everyone says.
