Okay, the iPad is ordered and the delivery day is set for June 7. The next step is to finalise the 3G plan (probably Telstra) and sort out a few content subscriptions. I’ll certainly sign up for a subscription to The Australian as that appears to be the most iPad ready newspaper in Australia.
I am looking forward to wholeheartedly embracing this new device – not for a day or two but for the long term. I want to see what difference it brings to my work day as well as to my consumption of news and information.
Heresy I head some say! Well, maybe. I expect this device to be a game-changer but that is only based on what I have read. I need to experience it myself before I understand the opportunities and the risks for Australian newsagents. So, I have taken the plunge and placed the order.
PC Magzine has just published an Australian iPad buying guide.
I have purchased mine as well (delivery 28th May) cant wait. I use a lot of apps on my iPhone now too read news articles and access information but I think the bigger screen will make a huge difference. I already embrace this technology now but I think the iPad will really increase other people converting over also.
