When I first got my iPad2 (it’s now 4 days old), the excitement wore off quite quickly. Is it really only a big iPhone?
I have now commenced an endeavour to make this baby useful! It must pay it’s way!
- As the only alderman (councillor) on Alice Springs Town Council who is totally paperless, I’ll be reading my papers on iPad2 on Monday night – if there is a #fail, there will be an angry tweet. Follow me on twitter @_ijane_
- Also, I want to be able to log into client web sites and update them – can this be done? I will find out. Of course I can update the WordPress sites, but I want more. I want FTP and an HTML editor.
The Cover
I forgot to say that the magnetic cover is pretty cool. It’s a bit like a refrigerator – the light comes on as soon as you open the cover and it sleeps when you close it.
Mine is orange and I’m already bored with that, but they are a bit too pricey to buy more – time to get out the textas and make it look groovier.
I also have a docking station which is a bit dodgy and overpriced. It doesn’t line up too well as there are no guides on the dock. A few grooves indented into it would make all the difference – guess I’ll have to use my markers to fix THAT problem too!
Also, you have to remove the cover to use the docking station – WTF? not good design.
