I can haz iPad 2 (plus I can haz a darn good iPad knock-off).

I found myself with a very rare Mike-solo night last night. I had so much ambition. I was going to finish a mix tape I've been working on, do some Photoshop work, catch up on 90210, watch Source Code, possibly work on Garage Band and do laundry.

But my plans went awry once I found out my new iPad 2 was in San Diego and ready for delivery. Right after work I headed over to FedEx and picked it up.



It's fantastic of course, but it's not very different than my old one. I did, however, enjoy taking advantage of both major upgrades, the 64gb hard drive and 3G. I plan on getting a lot of use out of this one, especially with the warmer weather coming in.

Also last night, I geeked out and did a little experiment on my Nook Color. I copied a movie on to the hard drive, and it worked. This is without hacking at all. You can just do this by plugging the Nook in to a PC (and/or I think a Mac). That Nook Color is pretty freakin sweet, and it's only like $250.



I love this stuff.

It is! OMG. I was wondering if you would notice. That just happened to be on the screen when I took the picture.

PS Japes got an iPad 2, too. Yay!

I've heard the Nook Color is kind of sluggish... is it?

As a book reader, it's great, but yeah the browser is certainly not safari on iPad. It's kinda clunky and lower-res.

My comment got ate'd.

Our iPads are Lot Buddies. Mine came in the same day. Maybe they spent time in Alaska together. lol

In just one day I fell in love. Hope you are enjoying yours as much!

Yeah, I guess a lot of people got their's the same day. What's that Star Wars quote? "It was as if a million souls cried out in paingeekiness."
