The iPad is Here!
Those who know me, know I love my gadgets. I decided to not get a Kindle for Christmas and have been waiting since the announcement to get an iPad. J and I decided that we would get one and decide later if we both needed/wanted one. J tends to be a skeptic so I agreed. Saturday the door bell rang at 8:55 am and it was delivered. Unfortunately, I was busy so he got to it first. When I finally got to use it... I loved it. The screen is so user friendly, the browsing experiencing is optimal, and the productivity applications are a nice combination of the technology I get from my iPhone and the space and layout I get from paper planner. I think I'm in love... Problem is, so is J. I think we may have to get two. Has anyone else tried an iPad? Is anyone considering getting one?

E-Reader Dilemna
I resisted the e-reader for a long time. I enjoy being able to collect, display, feel, and smell my books. Some have even called me a book snob. Imagine That! Finally, around December I was bitten by the e-reader bug and decided to make the plunge. I originally planned to get Barnes and Noble's nook, but after reading reviews and demoing (is that a word) the nook and the Sony e-reader, I chose the Kindle 2. I got my kindle, the cute purple leather case, a book light, and read at least fifteen books when I was hit with buyer's remorse because the iPad was announced. So, I returned my kindle and am now waiting for the iPad. Hopefully, it has everything I like about the kindle and more. As of now, I am reading the few books I have left on my iPhone. What's your take on e-readers? Have you made the switch?
