What’s that thing good for anyhow?

Posted on June 3, 2010

Why, yes I have an iPad—got it on day one infact—but no, I’m still not sure what it’s best used for. However, if it helps, I am typing this post on it right now as I read through the morning news on the toilet.

Favorite app?
The origami-themed photo frame. I loaded the device with all my vacation photos and I am continuously surprised at the combinations it folds itself into.

Typical use?
Sitting on the couch, gathering information on shows through IMDB or Wikipedia.

Future hopes?
More music and art creation tools.
Ableton Live for iPad.
A pixel-perfect digital design sketchbook. 

I want to use all this new electronic real-estate to create art in new inspiring ways, to feel the urge to dig deeply into a new medium with fantastic results. To boldly go where no man has… you get the picture.

Oh, and yes the digital magazines/newspapers are cool…
Wired and PopSci+ are on the right track… keep ‘em comin’.

UPDATE: Lonely Sandwich is in a similar boat.
