Everyone else has had a go, so it’s my turn to give my impressions of the Apple iPad. I believe that the future is about Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) or it’s non-computing equivalent, making continually more complex functionality simple enough for everyone to use, and I think that Apple are of the same mind.
The time had come to upgrade our MacBook Pros to Snow Leopard. Not wishing to break my partner’s laptop, I decided to see if the upgrade route would work using my machine as a testbed. Would I live to regret it…
