As a self-categorized Apple Fan-boy (like my new haircut) I was waiting for the Apple meeting last week for a month since it was announced.  Well, over a year since rumors have been spinning about the tablet Apple had in development.

I own a Kindle that I won at an event.  I do enjoy it and have only downloaded creative commons books open to the public (I have to still support my local bookstore) .  That said, browsing on the Kindle is a royal pain.  I much prefer my iPhone.  I would wish that the Kindle had 802.11 WiFi support so it could use the wireless in my home or elsewhere instead of the Sprint phone network .  The internet access through the Sprint phone network is nifty.  For no extra cost one can browse the web nearly anywhere there is a cell connection.  The browser is very limited and the downloads are painfully slow.  But good enough for Wikipedia.  However, the thing was designed to be a book reader, and it does that job quite well.

Next comes the iPad (horrible name).  My feeling is I will be in the market for this.  I enjoy browsing the internet while my wife watches TV.  I don’t really like NetBook computers.  My huge fingers make using a NetBook like I am wearing mittins.   But I feel we’re missing something with the iPad.

So how do I feel about it?  I’ll let Downfall Hitler speak for my thoughts.

LOL!
