Subscribe to PostsSo I want an iPad. Thanks to Project Gutenburg (Gutenburg.org), I already have over 75 eBooks already in iTunes waiting for it. But since iTunes will not allow you to actually read epub books, I also use Calibre (Calibre-ebook.com) to manage and read them until I get my iPad.
Anyways, as awesome as it may be, the iPad has received some criticism from people who have said “it’s just a huge ipod touch”. And a huge iPod Touch it is. Yes, Apple has added the new A4 processor to the iPad, but when you look inside of it, it’s clear that the main computing components are about the size of – well – an iPod Touch. There are also two HUGE batteries, which are the secrets to the 10 hours of active use battery life. (Picture courtesy of iFixit.com)
I still haven’t found anywhere to play with one, but the iPad is definitely on my shopping list, especially since I’ve really enjoyed eBooks lately.
