iPad mania hits Photogeek

Well it didn’t take long, the iPad rocked up at 9.30 AM and the rush was on to see and feel how good it would be. The fact that I knew I would love it was not as useful as what else might happen. Looks like the WordPress app is a lot easier to use and so there may be some way to post from any location without as much difficulty as was the case.
Telstra sold me a micro sim card for $30 and offer pay as you go 3G at $20 for 1 Gig. Not too bad and I like the Telstra network for speed.
Also worth mentioning is the wifi speed and network capability of the iPad. It screams over wifi and ADSL 2. Work needs to be done on the Elgato app as video is not up to par for this bigger screen. I have spent a bomb on iPad apps and will be getting to those as I get time to digest.
Cheers.
