Sorry I haven’t blogged in the last week. As you can guess from the title I’ve suffered a little writers block, plus I’ve had neck injury that’s made pretty much any movement hard but I’m feeling better now.

I’ve had two articles with titles and intro’s started but I just couldn’t complete them, maybe because it’s just damn bad timing. One was about consumption of media, basically laying out how I want digital distribution to work, but it appears I’m not entirely sure what I want. I thought I did but as I sat down and started to write it I realised I didn’t. There’s a good chance Apple will be announcing some updates to iTunes on June 7th at WWDC, so maybe after I’ll have a clearer idea of what I want.

The other article was about my anticipation for the iPad. But again I wasn’t sure about what I wanted to say. I think waiting until I have mine would be best, should be next week, then I can do a more conventional review and put some of my opinions in that piece.

That said my little brother Joe got his the day before launch and came into work to let me have a quick go. First impressions, it’s a little smaller than I thought it’d be, heavy but not as heavy as I’d thought it’d be. It’s amazingly fast and the screen is superb. Can’t wait to have some real time with it.

Being a true geek I’ve downloaded a fair few apps in readiness, I have a lovely handmade case I urge all iPad owners to check out: http://www.etsy.com/shop/MyGreenMonkeyDesigns shipped from the US it still came in less than the official case, while I’m using an iPad I don’t need a case, I just want something to protect it in my bag too and from work, it’s even got a pocket for a few accessories. The nicest part was that it came with a hand written letter asking for feedback.

So that’s it for now, I’ll have a iPad review ready soon. I’m also planning on doing a tech advice blog every Tuesday I was going to get started this last Tuesday but with my neck going it’ll wait to this next Tuesday.

Update, I’ve done my first “Tech Tips” blog, you can see in on the Tech Tips page. Click the link at the top.
