Recently I was given a first generation Ipad from my very generous father, thanks dad, and since I am apart of a team at work focusing on apps and how people, find and use them. It was suggested to me that I blog about my experiences so that there would be some kind of record about the process. So here I go!
I so far have only spoke to two people about what apps to use and the only apps I know I am going to download are as follows: facebook, cartoon network & some app so I can watch sports. My ipad will be used by everyone in the family but I have a feeling that myself and my two sons will be the primary users. As I go along I plan on posting thoughts about apps, how I find them or who recommends them and rather or not my family finds them useful.
I must say that I am surprised by my inactivity in downloading apps. I really thought I would get the ipad and go crazy using it in multiple ways. Here are the realizations I immediately identified after actually getting the ipad.
1. Not having 3G really changes how I will use the machine (and the reason my father gave this one to me) I cannot use it in the car (not that it would be safe if I am driving) But it really effects my thoughts about taking it places when I am with the kids. I will definitely need a wireless network to get the full use.
2. I am a Apple novice. The only apple device in my household is my wife's ipod and I never use that. But now I will become imitate with itunes if I plan to use the ipad as expected.
3. I don't think I am going to use it at work. I really thought that I would use the ipad everyday at work but now I don't think I will. Maybe this will change if I find some killer apps that would make work easier, maybe.
4. I will not be downloading my pictures or any of my music to the ipad and that may rule out a lot of apps that other users take advantage of.
5. other concerns in no particular order, cost of apps, security for the ipad and ?????
