iPad 2 – Getting Ready
The iPad 2 launched in the UK on Friday March 25th and was welcomed by long lines outside all Apple stores. Unfortunately due to work commitments I couldn’t join the line at the Victoria Square store in Belfast, however I did manage to pick up a blue Smart Cover on Saturday. The Smart Cover will be useful sooner rather than later as my girlfriend’s Mom (She is from the US) managed to pick up a 16GB black iPad 2 for me, from a Best Buy store in El Paso. They are coming over to visit this Thursday – so only a couple of days until I get to utilise the iPad 2 on a daily basis.
At the moment the key apps for me will be Flipboard, Keynote, Pages, Dropbox and Air Display. I am interested to see how the iPad will impact on my current routines – I take my laptop pretty much everywhere I go so hopefully it can be replaced for tasks such as e-mail, web browsing and presentations.
