Ohhhh Boy. Ohhhhhhhhhhh Boy. What did I just do?
I set out today to go visit the new Apple Store in Southgate Mall, with almost nary a notion to buy anything. Just run inside take a quick look around and then leave. Of course, before I left the house I just had to activate my new smart chip credit card that came in the mail. Hey, there would be no harm in tucking that piece of cold plastic in my pants pocket after that. Yah know, maybe just in case these things were kinda cool and all.
Well, I swear the closer I got to the store — the warmer that smart chip got! Maybe they should have planted one inside of my head instead of the card?
As I drew closer to the store, and then set eyes upon the throngs of people pawing and drooling over demo iPads everywhere, the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion field kicked in (a.k.a The Force).
“Luuuuuuke, erm, Laaaance you must buy one of these magical and mysterious Jebus Tablets!”, said the voice.
My demo consisted of this, press button turn machine on. Then, with same finger used, tap Apple Guy next to me on shoulder. Okay, I will take one, what do you have left?
“Did you want a demo first Sir?”, he asked. “I did already, I pressed the ON button”, I giggled.
“Did you want to pick one up and hold it in your hands?”, he inquired.
“No, I’m good. How much, and do you have a back entrance out of this place as I don’t want to get mugged on my way to my car, here is my card take it now!”, I squealed in anticiiii-pation.
So, all they had left were the 64 GB Wifi and 3G models. I snapped up a Wifi only unit and dashed out before being sold a keyboard, uhm.. yah.. no thanks. Kind of defeats the purpose.
Got it home, and synced without a hitch. Yeah, no camera… I knew, but no included headphones, WTF?
Updated to Comic Zeal 4 and Goodreader for IPAD. Now I can say just like my guns I own, try to pry this here iPad outta my dead cold hands. Yeah, don’t diss it till you seen it. As Craig Miller from BioWare on Twitter said it best of the iPad “#badass”.
