Happiness is a new computer

[tobyaw]

Time to say goodbye to my creaky old MacBook Pro. My iPad arrived today, and it is lovely. This is the first new computer I’ve bought for myself since the MBP in 2006. I’m delighted that many of my commonly-used iPhone apps are enhanced for the iPad, and some of the iPad-specific apps are amazing (who needs games when one can play with GarageBand?).

I subscribed to the Daily Telegraph app; I’m addicted to the crossword, and this is much easier than their web-based puzzle subscription, which I’ve used up until now.

Have you got an iPad2 as well or was it an iPhone 4?

How often do you use Face Time?

[kateaw]

Not that often as we live together :) Currently I'm away staying with his parents and we have used it a couple of times over today and yesterday.

I only declined the last one as I'm sharing a room with my daughter and she's asleep.

My mother-in-law has used a few times to call me since she now has a iPad.

I think it's good to use if you're relative lives a distance away! Have you used it with anyone in another country yet?

Have regularly videod to my parents when they’re at their flat in Spain, with iChat for years and FaceTime more recently. Works well.
