Oh my god i can not wait for this film! I’m not a Christina fan exactly (though i did love most of [Bi-on-ic]) but this film looks fabulous…

I was reading an article on www.wired.com and the following paragraph in particular caught my eye:

…You wake up and check your email on your bedside iPad — that’s one app. During breakfast you browse Facebook, Twitter, and The New York Times — three more apps. On the way to the office, you listen to a podcast on your smartphone. Another app. At work, you scroll through RSS feeds in a reader and have Skype and IM conversations. More apps.

I personally spend a lot of time doing my internet stuff on everything but my computer. I often browse my favourite sites from my smartphone, i bought the other half an iPad and after seeing what it’s capable of, plan on getting one myself.

Using iPad i rarely use the web browser, Apps pretty much give me everything i want.

Is the Internet kicking the bucket? Ok maybe not but it does seem to be changing more quickly than ever.

This amazing painting was done by Nikolai Lockertsen on an Apple iPad. I cannot wait to get my sticky fingers on my own pad. I got one for the other half’s birthday and i’ve had a play, it’s absolutely brilliant. And i love doodling so can’t wait to try digital painting.
