I'm an Apple geek - I think they make amazing products and I want them all. But I'm also a practical person, so I don't buy nearly as much or as often as I want to. When the iPad was released I wanted one - badly. But I forced myself to wait for the second version, knowing it is always slightly better, and waiting gave me time to save up some birthday, Christmas and credit card reward dollars.
On the day the iPad2 was released I hit 4 different stores trying to get one. I ultimately failed because I wasn't willing to spend hours standing in line. By the time I got around to putting my order in online there was a 4-6 week wait. Two weeks after I placed the order I got a shipping notice from Apple, I got excited only to realize they were just shipping the case (way to play with my emotions Steve Jobs!)
I've been checking the order status twice times a week and each time I saw that it was shipping on April 21, so I prepared for a long wait. Then on Tuesday I got a second shipping notice and started to get excited. I watched the tracker daily to see where the iPad was. I felt like a kid at Christmas as I watched it travel from Shenzhen China to Hong Kong to Anchorage Alaska to Memphis Tennessee and finally to Salt Lake City.
On arrival day, I worked from the kitchen table for part of the day since I can't hear the doorbell from my office and didn't want to risk missing the FedEx guy. How geeky can a girl get?
I got exactly what I wanted a white, 32 Gig Wifi model and I'm in love with this little piece of technology. It feels so nice in my hands and the screen is amazing. I'm just starting to research apps, do you have any favorites I need to give a try? I'd love some advice from those of you who have iPads or iPhones.
Krystal from Village introduced me to this artist and song, isn't it amazing:
