Apple iPad Review – You Could Get a Free iPad
There, I said it, and I feel better now.
I am a Windows guy. I always have been. I have tried to get in on the Mac craze, but every time I use a Mac I just find myself missing the features and navigation of Windows. Heck, I will even participate in the fanboy Windows/Mac flame wars out there on the behalf of Microsoft.
But when it comes to the world of mobile phones, Apple is king. After trying many different Windows Mobile phones and always ending up frustrated with the crashes, clunky interface, and all-around unresponsiveness, I bought an iPhone. I’m sorry Bill, I sold out.
Owning an iPhone however, has been a dream. Don’t get me wrong, it still frustrates me how Apple’s closed platform cuts me off from doing simple things like copying an mp3 file to my phone and playing it back, but it’s worth it. The phone is snappy, responding almost to my thoughts before I can even translate them to a movement in my finger. The screen is beautiful, and the OS truly feels like it was designed for a mobile device, rather than designed to try and put a computer on a phone like Windows Mobile does. And I’ll admit it, I love app shopping. I download apps all the time. Free apps, paid apps, any kind of app I think I can have fun with, and boy are there a lot of them.
My only major gripe with the phone is being forced to use iTunes, since I’ve never bothered to keep up with my id3 tagging and, even worse, since getting a new computer I can now not transfer any new content to my phone without deleting everything already on there, meaning I’ll have to completely rebuild my library on my new computer first.
But, that’s a small price to pay given that I spend hours on this thing when I’m out and about. I’ll never again be bored in a doctor’s office, or on the bus, or anywhere that I have my phone with me.
When I’m not playing with my iPhone I’m trying to warn people of how overpriced bottled water is. If you want to find cheap bottled water and save some money on something that you probably have readily available to you anyway, be sure to check out http://www.cheapbottledwater.us/.
