Acme Ideas

OK i guess if you have a blog and you have just bought an iPad you are remiss in your duties if you don't throw together a first impressions post.

At work I've been somewhat grandiosely (and prematurely considering that prior to yesterday I'd had about 8minutes experience with one) as a new class of computer, The *Family* Computer. I picked one up yesterday (32GB, wifi only) and I think *I* am going to like it - but hell, when don't I like shiny shiny new Apple products. 

So now I have one I am taking it, with my family, away for a week to put them both through their paces and to see whether I've spent the last three months talking nonsense in the office..

I've loaded it up with family entertainment - some films and tv programmes, lots of music and some games (my wife, who is not a gamer, is already hooked on Drop7).

We'll be back in a week or so and a full report will follow then.

PS this post was written using squarespace's iPhone app which is just about useful. Sorry about the big picture, and also links have been added on an old fashioned laptop computing device. Decidedly non-magically.
