I-what?

With all the Ipad hype around the world,
we decided to test it yesterday.
It was launched in the UK on 28th of May 2010.
It was evening, so the line was not that long.
In fact, we didn't queue at all because we didn't see it. Lol.



Look at the droopy eyes and eye bags, I was exhausted and sleep deprived.
But that's not the point.

In my honest opinion, Apple has incorporated very minimal advanced technology in this new little tablet pc.
It's thin and light with good speaker, yes.
Suitable for reading in the tube, or travel, yes.
But it's lacking of multi-tasking. 
Just like iphone, you have to exit one application before opening another.
No camera in front or at the back. 
Means no skype-ing!

If u're looking for a giant iTouch, then by all means get this.

It's great, but I definitely won't buy the first generation.
I tried reading a book, but after awhile my eyes just got dry.
Maybe it was the contact lens.
Maybe not.

And,
The keyboard is huge but very sensitive. You have to be really precise.
I had to try five times (using all 10 fingers) before getting www.yahoo.com correct.
Or else it'd go yrahoop.com
or yuaahhoi.com
or... you.get.the.idea.com
Alternatively, just use two fingers and u'll be an Ipad pro in no time.

However, someone likes it so much and even considered buying it.. *guys*
But I managed to talk him out of it. *phew*


Now,
How about checking in a hotel room and finding an Ipad lying on the bed?
With all your personal information in it.
And personal message form the concierge.

Try Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge or InterContinental London Park Lane.

Signing off. Good Morning London!
