Dilemma – iPad 2 or a 27 inch iMacFriday, March 4th, 2011

It is no secret that I am a Apple fan boy – I love Apple products and I have bought a ton of them. Do they make me a better photographer? You better believe it – cause I can spend my time photographing and editing photographs and not fixing a Windows computer and removing viruses. ;)

Well, there is now a dilemma – Apple announced their new iPad 2. It is thinner, faster, shinier and more cool than the old iPad. I have an iPad, and I describe it as totally useless but totally cool. I have found it is a great way to show my photography portfolio to potential clients, I use it in meetings, Angry Birds, and casual web surfing. Do I need the new one? No. Do I want one? Yes.

However, I think I want to wait and buy a new iMac instead. I’m saving up some dinero (money) and will buy a new iMac when Apple refreshes the lineup.

My current iMac is almost 2 years old and works great – it feels a little slower these days. What pushed me over the edge? At work I use a Windows computer (sad face) and I was given a larger monitor – 27 inches!! The monitor is huge and is the same size as the iMac 27″ – and I think I would be faster and more productive with a 27″ display rather than my 24″ iMac display.

Well, if Spring is nice and busy in the way of photography – and if I get a decent tax refund maybe I will get an iPad 2 and I will get a new iMac – maybe by then they will have a 30″ iMac. Mmmmmm.

Apple Introduces the iPad – Photographers Take NoteWednesday, January 27th, 2010

Today Apple finally caved into all the rumor and speculation and introduced the iPad. It falls in between the iPhone and laptops. It will challenge Amazon.com on the Kindle and the e-book market. I was expecting the iPad to be priced between $899 and $999. However, it is priced at $499-$830 depending on the model. And I think I might eventually get one.

Why? I am trying to read more books. Blogs and browsing would be awesome for the iPad. And finally it could be a really cool way to review photographs with potential brides. I could show off my photographs in a very elegant form factor. We shall see if that is a good idea or not.

I am a tech head at heart – you can woo me with technology. Cameras, computers, iPods, TVs, and more – they are the sure fire way to get my attention.
