It seems like my default mode in testing things is to chirp about mobility computing. So here I am at the train station, typing away on an iPad in the WordPress app, thinking about the device i’m using. My first thought is that I need to go take a look at the new iPad 2 tomorrow. If it’s actually thinner, lighter, more ergonomic, faster, and has the same battery, I should give it a spin.<\/p>\n
My second thought is that an iPad – especially a thinner and lighter one – would be a plausible addition to a bag with my work laptop and be a suitable companion if I were to decide the laptop shouldn’t have personal material any longer. It doesn’t solve the ESPN3 problem, obviously, but if i can type like this, it might still be broadly feasible for blogging. Again, i don’t think 3G is necessary for most things, and I can get by on 16 GB since the ipad is unlikely to have media other than books and movies. <\/p>\n
Next step is to attempt longer form blogging in WordPress on my iPhone with the keyboard and without. Again. Being in WordPress is enough of a switch to require another pass. (This app is a real drag in terms of keyboard response right now, so i don’t know if this is broadly feasible.) I do get the March Madness app, though, so i have all the streaming media I need for a while. ESPN3 won’t be a problem until this September…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
