If I copy paste here all online articles (and while we’re at it, offline, too) that put harsh words on iPad, I will say “to all of the above: they’re true.” Still, I would definitely get my hands on one unit. If you’re the kind of person that get ideas all over places (everyone is), with the on-demand need to jot and/or scribble down all the things that cross your mind, and memory no better than an elephant, you’ll need pocketsize notebooks (those classic paper ones). If they fail to help you organize, or worse, retrieve your notes (all of which are rather long), you’ll need a small laptop to go around with. And if the thought of your ideas vaporized while waiting your laptop wasting minutes booting up (which later keeps you from turning it on in the first place, and your ideas get vaporized anyway), you’ll pray for a device with instant power on. (when it comes to a gadget, instant on is like a quick hello reply; you don't like it delayed). So far, Apple is the only company that offers the solution. So "no-multitasking" or "no file management" or "consumer-not-creative-gadget" sentiment aside, the iPad had me at its ‘power’ hello. The 150,000 and paid and free apps, the 10-hour battery run, and even the multitouch gesture interface, or even its iBook (should I be lucky enough to access) are just added bonus.
One of the wrongest things people think of me is that I read a lot. I read only quite a few, not to mention slow. I am now without the luxury of hours and hours of reading time. But one day I discovered that I have countless of 15-minute breaks every day (mostly during walks from one place to another). It’s been several years that I use them up for reading. At other times, you will not find me do that. That’s the truth. So with Lala at hands, to add to my reading habit, I would also browse, write, even draw, at any 15-minutes that comes my way. That would be way nice.
I’ve read somewhere that rational decision is an illusion. That when you find something, you make instant decision based on your emotional impulse and then find arguments to justify that decision. Who am I kidding? The iPad is just sick pretty and I am just too stupid to deny one. And should Google or Microsoft or HP or Dell or anyone of them throws something more delectable, I will most probably convert (but would still name it Lala) and find some brand new excuses (but I promise I make them original).
