iPhone 4
Posted by Violetsteel in Tech on 09/11/2010
My phone contract is up next week and I’ll be getting the iPhone 4. I’m actually pretty excited even though I’ve been an iPhone user since the beginning. Pete and I are travelling to New York in December (my first visit to the States! Woot!) and I was considering buying a handheld video recorder. I hopped onto the net this evening to look at what was available and then I remembered I’d be getting the iPhone 4 and that I wouldn’t need to buy a separate device for recording video clips. The iPhone 4 is perfect for my requirements!
I want a Mac.

I’m at home reclining on the couch with my iPad on my lap and thinking about various things geeky.
I think I’ve made the decision to make my next computer a Mac. There are many reasons for this but the main one being that their products are so beautiful and work so well. It will be quite a while into the future before I actually need to make a final decision as I’m trying to get my finances in order at the moment, and a new computer is certainly not in my budget for the foreseeable future, especially not a pricey Macbook Pro. But I think I’m finally ready to say goodbye to Windows. I’ve never been a fan of Microsoft products and have always likes Apple, but I’ve always held onto the security blanket which is my Windows PC. I’ve accumulated a shit-tonne of software for windows and little customising and tweaking apps which have always made my windows experience more to my taste, now I think I’m ready to let it all go and have something that is beautiful and stable out of the box. Call me a Fangirl or whatever you want, I don’t have to justify my decision to anyway, if you don’t like Apple or Mac, fine, don’t buy it. But actually, I do.

Yes, Pete and I gave into our desires of geekery and indulged ourselves in the coolness that is the iPad.
I already knew I wanted one but alas my budget would not stretch to allow me to get one. This morning I joking hinted to Pete that he could buy me one and his vague response that didn’t include a “no” made me realise this was a possibility. We discussed it and agreed I’d pay him back or it part of the cost could be considered part of my 30th birthday present. So off we went to PC World in Stoke to have a look. As soon as Pete had one in his hand he knew he wanted one too. So a little while later we walked out with 2 16Gb Wi-Fi iPads.
I really love using this device. Typing this blog entry on it is a dream, so much nicer and easier than both my iPhone and my laptop, as I sit here very comfortable on the couch with my feet up and not overworking my thumbs. The screen is lovely and the styling in the usual slick Apple style. It’s very quick and responsive to every touch and tilt of the screen, and browsing the Internet is the most fantastic experience. I’m very very happy with it.
