Short one this. Yesterday saw us visit Corfu town, spending five or six hours wandering around town, shopping, photographing, meandering and, er, more wandering. I took the opportunity to test out the gps on my camera to see if it actually is as accurate as it claims to be. Hopefully as you read this you can go and click on our flickr map and see lots of new pinpricks scattered across Corfu town,
The iPad is holding up pretty well as a laptop replacement. Getting pics off my camera is painless. I’m reading the fantastic “Web Analytics 2.0” as an eBook (sunlight is -not- an issue, at least where I tend to read - in the shade” and a trip to the beach, although nervy, went well. I’m also using the ipad as an audiobook player ( listening to “Freakenomics” - also pretty good) so it’s holding up pretty well.
It does not agree with suncream, nor with being left in the sun, or, I imagine, being splashed with water. In fact holiday is quite a dangerous environment for iPad with sun, sea and sand all able to reduce it to ijunk pretty quick. I have however had people stop and Declare “iPad” to me on three occasions, with one gentlemen professing to purchasing one the moment he got home having seen me surfing the web on the bar’s balcony.
So check out the pics on flickr and a couple below. One more blog coming on Friday!
