My thoughts on the iPad…
...because everyone has their own. They could be resumed to: I want! I want! I want! I want!
It's shiny, it's thin, it looks good... Like all my favorite Apple stuff. I don't even care if it has lousy WiFi — I live in a 50m² apartment with only 2 rooms separated by wooden walls, I am never more than 5m away from my Time Capsule.
But will I get one? I'm not so sure. In the current set of things, probably not. This is why:
- As I said earlier, my home is small — albeit nice and cosy — as most people in Tokyo who are not on expatriate expense accounts. My main computer is a MacBook Pro which sits at all time on the arm rest of my sofa: there is no table/desk to put it.
So buying an iPad would mean relegating the MacBook Pro to a closet until I need it for higher level tasks — such as dumping photos into Aperture or writing code for home projects... Putting a ¥200.000 laptop in a closet feels wrong, but maybe I could live with it.
This is a coffee table, not a desk...
- filler
- I spend 3h of every weekday commuting to and back from work. I could really see myself enjoying movies, TV shows, my feed reader and internet/email on an iPad much more than on my iPhone as I do now. However, there is no way in hell I would ever pay another ¥4000 or so to Softbank for an unlimited 3G connection in addition to the one tied to my iPhone. You can only bleed your customers so much...
So unless the coming weeks see an announcement (I'm thinking iPhone 4.0 tonight) by Apple or Softbank of either tethering your iPhone to your iPad or an extra iPad 3G SIM at ¥500 for iPhone owners, I don't think I will buy the iPad.
