iPad

As previously stated I would like an iPad. Part of me wants one because they are incredibly gorgeous and sexy, but there are also practical reasons why I want them.

- Frankie Magazine has an online subscription. I could subscribe to this and view it on my iPad when overseas because I wont want to be searching for the magazines over there and carting them around with me.
- Lonely Planet offers PDF Guidebook Chapters. This would be great for places like South America where we are visiting a couple of countries but not spending that much time there. I could download the chapter on El Salvador for $7 or buy the guidebook for $50. Plus it eliminates the need to carry around loads of unneeded guidebooks.
- Superfuture has PDF travel guides that you can download. It would be much handier having these downloaded onto an iPad rather than carrying around pieces of paper that would get damaged and lost.
- I could store movies on it (At least I'm fairly sure I could). This would be handy for plane rides or the long car trips if I needed to zone out from everyone else.

I'm sure there will actually be other reasons, but it really does seem like a great device to me. Sure I can do all of these things on either my iPhone or my Macbook Pro (Yes I was purposely pointing out my Mac obsession there), but the iPad is that perfect portable size inbetween. They haven't even been released in Australia yet, but if I were to get one it would probably be one of those things that is best waiting until America anyway.
