The iPad is here!

After all the hype the iPad is here, and the name is already getting a lot of flak as many are reminded of commercials for products women use!

Name notwithstanding, heres the good and bad. The good. Its sleek, light and love the idea of an on screen touch keyboard. You can also dock to a standard keyboard (purchased separately). Now the doubtful and bad? Wonder what happens if you drop the thing. The glass is gonna shatter at once. Dont believe me? Drop your iphone and find out! Also no usb, no flash, no camera, no multitasking. Meaning you cant run an application and the web browser at the same time.

One more device for people to fiddle with in public to convince those around they are really busy and important and have loads of friends. Yawn!

Smartphones! Whats the difference?

So why should I trade in my cell phone for a smart phone? Well, if all you need is to make calls and receive calls then theres absolutely no problem in carrying around the old cell phone which looked like a brick and weighed about the same. But if you want to move on, then might as well go all the way and get a smartphone.

They are more than cell phones and work like a computer linked to the internet. They provide instant access to the internet, you can work on documents and sync with your desktop or laptop, and besides playing music you can store and play a whole movie on a smartphone. They are open to third party applications where you can download whatever interests you and is of use. They will connect by Wi Fi and 3G for faster browsing speeds. All in all smartphones are here to stay and will only get better with time.
