Why I sold my iPad
Like many of you out there, I bought the iPad on April 3rd. I was so excited to have the new device that the public had hyped up months before. I installed some apps, and thought they were rather fun. I even bought some of the expensive ones.
But as the month went on, I used it less. It got to the point where it would just sit there all day and collect dust. I really had no use for it. I think I bought it from all the hype the public gave it. You could honestly say, I was bored.
I don't think I would have been so bored if the apps weren't an arm and a leg. All the good iPad apps start at $9.99. I'm not going to throw that kind of money for an hour of fun, if that.
I found myself using my iPhone more than the iPad. The iPhone is small, light, and doesn't feel like it is going to break. The iPad was heavy, large, and felt delicate. The iPad is a beautiful device and has potential. I would have gone with OS X instead of iPhone OS, but Apple knows what they are doing.
I put my iPad on Craigslist and traded it for a brand new HP laptop two hours later. And I must say, I am enjoying this new computer over the iPad already.
I guess the iPad was just not for me.
