My new iPad

For months since its release I've been convinced I don't need an iPad. After all, I have my new MacBook Pro 13" and iPhone 3GS all the time, why would I need *another* computer? Thanks to all these friends who keep telling me how relieved they are from carrying around their laptops and how they could get everything done on their iPads, I finally changed my mind and got myself one a few days ago.

I got a 32GB 3G version which is priced at HK$5,688. It comes with all the apps I need to work (yes, this is for work!): Keynote, Numbers, Pages, 1Password, Dropbox, Box.net and IM+Lite. I'm also very proud to announce that I'm on board with a decent network at last - SmarTone-Vodafone - and with no contract. Hopefully as many more iPhone users jump ship to SMV, the quality of 3HK network would improve, because I still have 2 more years of contract with the latter!

New iPhone case

What is the average lifespan of your iPhone case? Mine is around 6 months. I don't replace one unless it's beaten-up or too dirty. If I were not shopping in Wanchai computer mall for something else today, I would have hold on to my old one until someone gets me an uncommon case featuring a cool artwork. The temptation in this mall is irresistible - almost every shop sells iPhone cases, and the variety is staggering. You would see walls as large as 6 by 6 ft. covered with cases of any color, texture and material you could imagine. If I were to "try on" every one of them, it'd probably take me a whole week.

Here is my new one: a Trexta Wood and Leather case. It's one of those slim cases that you can snap on and off easily but offers very little protection. Priced at HK$199 and comes with a screen protector and a cleaning cloth. I love it simply for the natural, vintage look and feel.
