iPad iGadgets
May 17, 2010
We’re a two iPad family and if the cats had opposing digits instead of paws we’d probably need to double that number. As it stands I’m sharing my 3G Bright and Shiny Object with the puddy cats who have conversations with Cat Commander and play bug tag with Apps for Cats. Seriously. Apps for cats. Next thing you know they’re going to want their own email accounts.
So here’s my iPad booty all packed up and ready for the weekly pilgrimage to Starbucks. The solid-sided case is by Cocoon Innovations and was originally designed for a netbook and while they have a thinner model specifically for the iPad I like the extra space this one provides for my bluetooth keyboard and Griffin iPad A-Frame Stand. The case also comes with a center grid flap where I store a cloth for cleaning the touch screen, power adapter and cord, earbuds, extra batteries for the keyboard, stylus pen, my iPhone and a red movie peg just in case I want to watch a movie on my iPhone. Who am I kidding?! As if I’m ever going to watch a movie on that little weeny screen again. Yeh. Right.
I had both the Wifi (hers) and the 3G (mine) shipped on the first day each was released which has meant up to now I’ve more or less been an unpaid Apple iPad Representative in their Starbucks Division every time I pull out my iPad at one of their dinky Frisbee tables, the truth is I actually enjoy answering the same questions over and over or providing yet another spontaneous demo of Photo Album and Newsy. I’m just that crazy in love with my iPad, while never forgetting the profound wisdom imparted by Janeane Garofalo in The Truth about Cats and Dogs, which if I may now take the liberty to rephrase, “You can love your iPad, you just can’t love your iPad.”
Oh, and are you completely loving on the il Tricolore decal skin? I know. Awesome.
