Read Me

Since this blog is supposed to be about guilty pleasures, I would like to touch upon one of mine: Apple. No not the fruit, the company. I was always terrified to use a Mac because the one in school was so weird and confusing, but I got one when I was in college and I don’t think I could ever go back. I use a PC for work, but that’s against my will. I enjoy all the features the Mac has to offer, such as the designing programs and editing programs. I also enjoy the other products from Mac such as the iPhone, which is the best invention ever, as well as the iPod. How many people do you know without an iPod? Probably not many.

To add to this amazing list of Apple products, it is said that tomorrow, Apple will be launching a touch screen tablet called the iSlate. If anyone knows where the “i” thing came from, please inform me because I still do not understand. Anyway, this thing seems pretty freaking sick. The iSlate is basically the competition for the Kindle and other e-reading devices. The cost is said to be more than the iPhone, but less than the Mac book. So in other words, way more expensive than the Kindle. I guess the big thing with this is that the iSlate will pay publishers more for their books causing more books to be made for the iSlate in turn gaining a monopoly on the e-reader. I am pretty ok with that. I mean it’s a sad day for Amazon and Barnes and Noble, but it’s Mac. Soon they will rule the world.

There are no real pictures of the device yet, but there are some pictures of what the product is assumed to look like. It won’t be sold in stores until March. Start saving up!
