I’ve updated lots of WordPress sites in the last few months, while neglecting my own, and now the wicked weather (tornado season) is beginning again (sigh). I did buy an iPad – two in fact, but both were gifts for others. The first was for non-profit staff, who needed a presentation tool to share the organization’s story while on the road. It’s been a slick and easy way to enhance a customized presentation during one-on-one visits. It’s also being used for talks to small groups. The staffer captivates small groups of visitors with impromptu talks, augmented by one of the slideshows loaded on the iPad, but displayed on an HDTV screen. No clumsy technology needed.
The other gift was for a family member with mobility issues. The iPad is lightweight, portable, malware free, and just plain fun.
I still don’t have one myself, but opted for an ipod instead. It’s my pocket planner/computer.
