Apple has had an iPad and Siri since 1987!

Yup, really!  Check out this video from 1987.  It's kinda hokey, but weird how close the functionality of the Knowledge Navigator is to an iPad if it had cell service and Siri.  Maybe the iPad 3?

Free games!

So I'm going to date myself a little here, but here's your chance to score some free games!  Yes, they are a little bit old, but I just loved playing Zork on my Commodore 64!

Just in case

Actually, I guess I should say iPad 2 in case...  After all, if I'm going to spend at least $500 for a device, I'm going to want to protect it, right?

So with what seems like thousands of case options out there, which case is the best?  I've been looking them over, but there are so many!  Which ones do you like?

In a couple of weeks, I'll post my finalists list as I get ready to buy an iPad 2.  But if there's one that any of you particularly like, I'd love to hear about it!

Why I'm getting an iPad 2 and not an Android tablet

Viruses!  Trojans!  Malware!  Oh, my!

Electronista reported recently that the number of malware on the Android platform has climbed to 44.  And the number of them on the iPad/iPhone?  Zero.  The same as that on the WebOS platform.  But then we would expect that, wouldn't we...

An iPad? Or something else?

Well, I have my heart set on an iPad 2 at this point and I have almost enough saved up for it.  However, for those of you without the iPad-love have other options.  This little list of the top-5 top-4 alternatives give you some other choices.  What's yours?

A Blog made out of trees?

I love this quote: "For those of you under the age of 25, a magazine is a blog made out of trees."

It's from an article (on a blog...) describing how a die-hard professional Windows user (a former editor of Windows Magazine no less!) became an Apple fan-boy.  Here's a hint if you are a Windows user and want to avoid the same fate:  Do not get involved with Apple's gateway drugs!

Wow.  I. Want. One.
