Something different – iPad update

Ok, so I never used the BT keyboard with the iPad. Shame on me. It looks like I didn’t know what I was missing… Hey, speaking of “missing”…!

I let my GF borrow my iPad when she took a trip to visit family in California and Washington. After seeing mine when we met for breakfast one morning, she was really enamored. I knew she really wanted one, but was hoping I could hold out until Christmas. Anyway, that wasn’t to be.

We looked for the longest time, and here in Anchorage they were sold out everywhere. They were still on backorder at Apple online, too, with a 7-10 day wait.

In the meantime, I told her she should wait and not run out and buy one. I would be more than willing to let her borrow mine when she went on her trip.

So we loaded the 64 GB WiFi version up with all sorts of movies. Far more than you could ever watch on the airplane or during the vacation in general. I’ll bet there were 30 movies, and a ton of music videos. Plus the general apps and other “stuff”.

Off she went… That was more than a month ago. Still no iPad. She said, “hey, I need to bring back your iPad.” No problem, just keep it; I wasn’t using it. )

So with my upcoming trip, I really wanted to travel with the iPad. However, the difference here — it sure would be nice to have the 3G version. When she came by the other day, all forlorn, ‘uh, I brought back your iPad, but really thought you would just buy a new one’; well that was all it took. An early Christmas present, almost new!

And for me, well, Best Buy had the 64 GB + 3G in stock! So we all come out a winner.

Just for fun, I am typing this on my “new” iPad, with the BT keyboard I never used. Everything works out…
