Blog launch
I’ve had an iPad for nearly two months now, and while it hasn’t necessarily changed my life, it is becoming an increasingly important device in my productivity toolkit.
Among the highlights:
- I use the NewsRack app (it syncs with Google Reader) to keep up with 145 RSS feeds.
- I check in with Twittelator to read and respond to tweets.
- I have a Dropbox account allowing me easily move files between the iPad and my MacBook Pro.
- GoodReader is excellent for opening and reading PDFs.
- I have several books downloaded to the Kindle that I can read on a plane or in a hotel, saving me weight (and the hassle) when I travel.
- Battery life (about 8-10 hours) is more than satisfactory—especially when compared to my iPhone—and the processor is very fast,
This blog: a platform for exploration
But in addition to all of those practical uses, what really excites me about the iPad is what’s coming. We’re a mere three months into the life of this device, meaning developers, artists, marketers, publishers, and marketers have only scratched the surface of what can be done.
I’m launching this blog as a digital platform to chronicle and explore how the iPad is evolving, including its impact on our work, creative, and digital lives.
I’m expecting nothing less than a fascinating ride along the way. Thanks for being a part of it.
