"And all these _pad things just confuse me. They play games, they download books, and what else? Sort of like a giant phone, but with no keypad, and don't make calls? I think I need one, but I don't know why!'
Ironicly I was a major tablet skeptic
I used to Say: "Bah!! if I cant run C4D+ Vray and photo shop etc on it what good is it??"
But now that I own one I realize its not for Full graphics production.
its more like a personal productivity device that we always saw in the sci fi movies & Tv series
I bought a Capacitive stylus for mine and have been able to create some great Digital pencil sketches
with a free drawing app.
I did not even bother with my free one month subscription to the streaming TV& movie content
on "amazon prime"
I just convert My own Vids to HD mpeg4 movies and load them to the kindle from my mac for traveling
I have my entire personal library in my pocket,
access to the web& Email (of course)
I have a grocery shopping app (which caused quite a few stares from the other"low tech" patrons in my local grocer)
and it has a great Digital comic book app. and of course Games
it really makes the drudgery of sitting at my local laundry center flash by.
My mac laptop has been permanently promoted to "Home Computer"
I am having great fun with this new tech toy!!
Cheers
