Below we see a picture of director Michael Bay with his iPad and it looks like he’s showing Patrick Dempsey something on his iPad. Heck when I become a director I sure will be using my iPad!

iPad: My Thoughts
Jan 27th
Today Apple announced the iPad tablet. I agree that they could’ve chosen a better name for it, but I prefer it vs the rumored “iSlate.” I wasn’t super excited for the announcement this morning, yet by the end of the keynote I was sold.
The iPad looks like a work of art, and fits in perfectly with the Apple family. What sold me was you can put iWork on it since I have recently fallen in love with iWork. Once I get an iPad it will replace the paper notebooks that I use for school, using it to taking notes and having my textbooks in it.
One of my other favorite parts was the calendar. Its like the Apple calendar I always dreamed of for my iPhone, but could never find that perfect app.
I’m not sad about it not having a camera. I didn’t really care for that since I have two cameras plus my iPhone, but a front facing camera for video conferencing would have been neat. Multitasking would have been nice to have.
It has a bunch of other cool features that I’m not going to mention since I may not use them because what interests me the most is that I can use it for school. Plus I’m sure you might already know them all. If not I suggest you watch the video on Apple.com/iPad.
I will definitely be getting one. Will you?
Apple iPod/Music Event Keynote Day
Sep 9th
Today is one of those days that us Apple fanboy’s and girls look forward to, Apple’s special music event. Although, I don’t see anything big being announced, just some iPod and iTunes upgrades. Gizmodo, along with other sources, have posted about an iPod price drop change in the apple online store, which probably got changed in error, since they don’t update the site until after the keynote happens.
The 32GB touch is now $279 (down from $399), the 16GB is $249 (was $299), and the 8GB model is $189 instead of $229. The iPod nano is at $129 (8GB) and $149 (16GB), while the Classic is down to $229 (was $249).
Apple probably realized of this mistake and thats why if you go on Apple.com/store right now its just has a picture saying they’re updating the store and you can’t view it at the moment. I screenshoted it below:
So maybe they’ll be announcing a new iPod? It would be cool if they would release an iPod HD or something of that sort with the Zune HD coming out in a couple of days.
Now the question is, will Steve Jobs be back as keynote presenter? Nope… It will most likely be a Philnote again. Steve might possibly be present at the event, but I think it might be safer for him to wait till 2010 to make a comeback.
The keynote starts at 10am PST and you can be sure that I will be following a couple of liveblogs that will follow the event including: Gizmodo, and Macworld.
