My most recent favourite book(s) are the Hunger Games (trilogy).  I’ve burned through them on Audio book but No1 bought home the actual book today.  Its got this strange folding front cover that through a window you can ‘choose your own cover’ and choose between Katniss or Peeta (two protagonists..).  I had my own picture of what Katniss looked like but this wasn’t too different.  She should have braided hair though…

iPad 2 (Day 120)

Posted by matnorman2013 on
Ok – so its finally here.  They have finally updated the UK Apple website to announce the iPad 2.  This comes on a day when a non-techie in the office was talking about the iPad 3 being ‘due out in September.’

Do I want one?  Yes.  

Did I want the original iPad.  Yes.  

Did I get one?  No.  

Although its a lovely object I’m already paying twice the going rate for my Apple Macbook so I’ll be damned if I spend the cost of a reasonable windoze lappy to buy this iPad gadget.

Dont get me wrong.  I’d love one.  If someone bought me one I would be ecstatic – then probably followed by feeling a bit guilty.  Its a truly lovely object but I cant bring myself to buy one.

I dont know the UK price for this – but the US one starts at around $440.  If it meant that this was going to be around £220 here (wishing for the old exchange rates) then I might fork out for one.  But as it stands I’ll wager they will be around £399 here.  

Sorry Apple not this time.  

Again.
