Ipad |
About a month ago I treated myself to an iPad. I had wanted one since the day they were launched and finally decided to bite the bullet and get one. I got an iPad2 only to discover, of course, that two days after I ordered it, the 3 was being released a week later but - such is life. I am aware that the display on the 2 is completely inferior to the 3 but, to be honest, I don't really care. I love my iPad! It's the best thing I have bought in years and I now can't imagine life without it.
It took me a few days to get used to the iPad. I don't have an iPhone - yet - so I hadn't seen the layout etc. but what I quickly realised was that it can do just about anything you want it to. The app store is huge! You can find things in there that you could never have even dreamed it might have. The iPad itself came with Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Contacts...can you see where this is going? Yes. I fell for the iPad so hard that I decided to abandon my trusty Filofaxes. All 14 of them!

The iPad is fantastic! I love it to bits and as I said, I can't imagine not having it now. I am hugely into Social Media and I'm now able to keep up with everything that's going on even when I'm on the move but in this technological age where everything moves and changes so quickly, I feel my Filofaxes keep me grounded. They are timelessly elegant and allow me to hold on, in some small way, to a time when things weren't quite so fast and frenetic.
Oh - and the fact that their batteries never need charged is huge plus!!

Diane - reading on your iPad and taking notes in your Filofax is a great idea. That way you have the best of both worlds.
My iPad doesn't feel anything like a Filofax as I have the bright green plastic smart cover.
Helen - I love that!! IPad for reading about Filofaxes, Filofaxes for real life!
