    iPad

     

    WOW I LOVE MY NEW iPAD! I gave it a name: Jumbo-lump, because it's a jumbo lump of FUN.


    It has everything I really wanted for a laptop. The design of it couldn't make me any more happy because it's lightweight and easy to carry around. (Guys you MAY want to consider a man purse for this because if you drop it it will go *CRACK*!) Since I'm an iPhone owner I put up with living with the battery life that sucks, so I was a bit worried about getting an iPad at first. People would tell me "oh it lasts for days!" and I had a hard time believing that statement was true. Once I got one I realized they weren't sugarcoating it after all, it really does last for days! Couldn't help myself but test it out on my own, I haven't charged it for 2 days now and it's still at 68% life left.

     

    Here are some of my favorite apps I have fooled around with:

    Games:
    ANGRY BIRDS
    If you don't giggle when playing this game, then you need to cheer up. You sling shot birds into towers in order to kill pigs who are eating your eggs. Entertaining! Leet skills & patience required for this one ;)
    MIRROR'S EDGE
    Even though the game wasn't a big hit on the consoles, they truly made a game that uses the iPad's features very well. Here's a 3D side scrolling game where you run around the city leaping over from building to building while attacking enemies who get in your way.
    ZOMBIES VS PLANTS
    This game is an RTS and if enjoyed other games like this on the iPhone, this one is right up your ally.
    Other:
    MyText
    Ever looking for something to write in that doesn't cost 10 bucks but does more than the iPad's notepad? Well I came across this app and really enjoy it. Quick & easy to use. Sometimes I need to write things & ideas that come to my head that I can just email to myself later.
    PhotoPad
    Yeah maybe ONE DAY apple will allow Photoshop to come to the iPad/iPhone, but until that day, this app allows you to change colors, tilt pictures, and write text on them if you need to. Plus, it's free.
    DRAGON DICTATION
    This app is neat! It allows you to write text messages, emails, or notes by just speaking to your iPad. I think it even types it faster than using the keyboard!
