Why I purchased an iPad mini When the “new iPad” (aka, iPad 3) came out, I replaced my first generation iPad with a top of the line model – 64GB, WiFi+3G, and have loved it. When the iPad mini came out, I wasn’t all that inclined to buy one, for …
There’s been a lot of discussion as to where a 7″ iPad will get used most. Over at Daring Fireball, John Gruber states: So maybe it’s the people who carry a big notebook who’ll be most tempted to get a smaller iPad, since they’re already carrying more weight. Decisions, decisions. …
I actually quite like Fairfax, generally. They’re somewhat left-wing in their outlook, and as such represent added balance in an oft-times boganised Australian media landscape. However, when it comes to consumer tech stories, I honestly wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire. For years, they’ve beaten a big …
Darren and I both got our iPads on May 28, and I’ve been asked by a friend to give a review of what I think of the iPad now. In the past I’ve said that it’s effectively a new computing platform paradigm – neither desktop nor smartphone, but somewhere inbetween. …

Exactly 8 days ago today, 2 beautifully packaged iPads arrived at my house, having pre-ordered them for their May 28 release in Australia. “Pah”, you say, “I can already see he’s an Apple fanboy! Who cares about packaging?” Many consumers actually do care about the packaging. This is one thing …
As it’s now been released, there’ll undoubtedly be a swathe of things the average anti-iPad review will get wrong. I’m fully prepared to accept there’ll be legitimate criticism of the device, but there’s also going to be a raft of illegitimate criticism. By illegitimate, I mean illogical, nonsensical, stupid or …
