Yes, I did get an iPad. A free one, in fact. I won't go into the details, but I'm going to make the most of it with drawing and taking notes... and games. Sweet, sweet games.
It feels kind of weird because I already own an iPhone 3GS (and it's going strong!), but I'm looking forward to jotting down my ideas in it, to see if it'll replace my teeny tiny idea sketchbook that I carry around with me.
You know you're old when you see your fellow students in your required undergraduate class all holding tablet computers while you're still taking notes with your pen and paper. :P
Well, not old... but witnessing the dawn of a new era of technology, at least.
I remember the days when anyone with a laptop was a big shot... soon, everyone had a laptop. Then, netbooks where the next big (small) thing... and here we are now with the tablet craze. Is it one that will last? Who knows. One thing's for certain: I am stupidly excited over the mobile pressure-sensitive tablet that WACOM announced will be released sometime in the US Summer. Maybe I can save up for that instead of a Cintiq if it's good enough for high-resolution, professional quality work.
I'll be sure to keep you all updated with the shenanigans I come up with with my new toy, including but not limited to video blogs, maybe? :P Throw me questions you'd like me to answer on-camera and I'll try my best not to be an awkward penguin.
