More Thoughts

Well l haven’t gotten around to finishing the iPad to Netbook comparison yet however the one thing I did want to mention, the biggest advantage of all when comparing the iPad with a net book or any pc is the instant on capability of the net book.

You are not able to send a email or a post such as this within seconds of turning on a pc. First you wait for it to boot, the you start up you web browser or email client, you may be 5 minuets before you can actually do something.

Leaving the iPad on the coffee table in the living room has allowed me to make quick notes when I needed to, check a price advertised on the tv or make a note of a sale advertised.

Have not even thought of redoing the site as of yet but will have to soon. Am still working on seeing what all I can do from the iPad. This post is from the word press app on the iPad.

I have attached a photo from last years vacation to Maui to see how the photo layout options are in the word press app.

Sony PRS-505

Couple of new things, first I now have a Sony PRS-505 Ebook Reader this is a great little unit that allow you to download ebooks and take them with you. The supplied software does not have a lot of belles and whistles as far as conversion of book formats goes but I have found a nice software package called Calibre that does a great job of allowing you to convert multiple formats to be useable on the Reader.

Battery life is great, I recently took it for a week to maui spent at least 3 hour per day reading it while on the beach as well as having enogh power to last for both the flights on a single charge, I read about 12 novels during this time.

I would highly recommend this model for any avid reader.

New Laptops.

I was looking at the Epson P-6000 Photo storage system for when I traveled to back up the photos from my camera when I came accross the new Acer Aspire One Laptop.

The Epson P-6000 has a 4 inch screen and can only be used for Photos and sells for $599.99 and even wholesale it is not much below that.

The Acer Aspire on is a full Laptop with a 8.9 inch screen and a 120gb hard drive running windows XP and It sells for $399.99. Sure I need a compact flash reader but it is still small enough to fit in my camera bag, and can be used as a full laptop as well, even has a webcam. The only down side is no CD/DVD reader/Burner but I can always network it when home.
