iLounge's iPad Case GalleryI’ve always flocked to iLounge to find cool gear to accessorize the iPod, the iPhone and now they’ve made it equally enjoyable to do the same with the iPad.
If you’re not a fan of the case Apple sells, the case gallery on iLounge has a stockpile of amazing gear from sleeves to folios, to rubber skins, to screen shields. My personal favorite include: The Cloak, the Wood Case and the iFolio. I can only see the list of manufactures wanting to cater to the iPad growing.

How I Will Be Using the iPad
Up to this point, any doubts I ever expressed about owning an iPad specifically of me not being the targeted audience for the device is irrelevant because I’ve completely succumb to my initial thoughts of getting one.
I’ve heard and read more than enough favorable praises from satisfied owners who I share a strong interest with already from technology, gadgetry, Apple and a strong addiction to online content. I’m a sucker for all those areas and if I currently enjoy a small dosage of it from the iPhone, I can’t imagine how more stunning the delivery could be from the iPad.
If there’s a way to perfectly describe how I will be using the iPad, these beautiful photographs by Laura Cope are a perfect representation. I have no idea what day of the week they were taken but this is what a Saturday will look like for me.
The iPad is undoubtedly a mobile device, very much something to be easily taken with you just like your iPhone or laptop but I think I got too fixated with the mobility aspect and that’s where my hesitation stemmed from.
It’s interesting that every single of the guided tours use the home as a backdrop to what can be accomplished with the iPad and not one is shown used out in the streets and now I’m noticing that people are resorting to using it as something you just want to cuddle with at home and not take out if you don’t have to but still know that you can when you want.
It took a tweet from Garrett Murray for me to finally understand the concept of what it means to own an iPad: -
Before I left the house I thought, “Wish I could bring my iPad with me.” Then I realized I have an iPhone. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, APPLE.

On The Curb: While walking the streets of China Town in New York, I came across this random plant just sitting there sunbathing on the curb in its own world, amongst all the crowd of people shopping on the street market.
I’m not exactly sure what it is about this photo that took me back to a simpler time in my life when I lived in El Salvador. A place that I left feeling excited about learning, awakened by using all my senses to explore new things and rejuvenated by living and appreciating all the small things; including this plant.

As a professional photographer, you have to believe in the worth of what you’re selling. Worth determines value. Value determines price. Price determines whether or not you stay in business.

Apple iPad First Hands-OnThe folks at Engadget have posted a neat video with some initial thoughts and demonstration on a few preloaded iPad applications. I would be in serious denial if I said I’m not tempted to invest on one but what’s been tearing me apart is deciding on a 3G/Wi-Fi or just Wi-Fi model.
I’m skeptic about how enjoying an iPad would be if you spend more time trying to find a Wi-Fi spot to take full advantage of it’s capabilities as oppose to knowing that you can use every app because of a 3G connection.
The Kindle has become a constant companion of mine as much as my iPhone and that’s due to the liberty of using them anywhere. I don’t want to own an iPad and just be limited to using it only at home just because that’s the place I know there’s always a Wi-Fi connection.
Obviously based on my concerns, the Wi-Fi/3G model will best suit me but then I’m not too keen on dishing out an extra $30 for the unlimited data plan. Either I’m just too confused or more convinced that the iPad is not for me. We’ll see after I get a first hand experience with it myself.
