First week with the iPad 2

It’s been just over a week since I bought my iPad and while I was skeptical at first, I’m still very happy with my decision. Meant as a reader for RSS feeds and other news, it quickly became my go-to-gadget at home and therefore replacing my iPhone even for games. The simple reasons for that …

Protection for the iPad 2

Apple products tend to have a great design that I normally don’t want to destroy by wrapping my devices in any kind of cover. Yet, I do so every time. It started with my first iPhone which I put into a cover called Incipio Feather. It’s slim but does provide more protection than I thought, …

Writing my blog on the iPad

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I got my iPad mainly for reading and photo editing purposes. Due to the comfortable keyboard size and my blog actually being up and running again, writing posts seemed like yet another reason to justify my purchase. So the search started for an app that would assist me …

My new gadget: iPad 2

Due to upcoming mobile phone contract changes I came across the opportunity to get an iPad 2, or so I thought. Long story short, it didn’t work out the way I would have wanted it to. After all, I bought a Wifi-only version without a contract. The main reason for me to buy an iPad, …
