With me being so preoccupied, I can’t believe I didn’t mention this already…my iPad will arrive on Ottawa soil on Saturday! My colleague Juan (who is referred to around these parts as our Columbian Agent) is down in Vegas and picked up a couple of iPads for us. Sweet!
I’ve been getting a little (yeah right!) excited for the iPad coming our way. We’ve found ways to download apps for the device easily enough, and I’m looking into the ability to download free e-Books from Google Books.
For example, I’ve always wanted to read The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes…well now I can! Legitimately free! That’s an exciting concept. I think it will be interesting to read classic tales that are in the public domain…Sherlock, the Hunchback, Dracula…stalwarts of our current pop culture.
Other than that, we all know that my love for the device lies in the ability to read comic books on it. Unfortunately, it looks like there aren’t that many applications built for that function yet so I will wait patiently until I can choose which one to pick up.
So unless there is someone dropping by to see the house this coming Saturday, the iPad shall be mine!!!
