I have to admit that the iPad is actually even more awesome than I thought it was going to be...

Really nice devices, with an array of great software.

I am glad that the Android app market is catching up. Apple sorely needs some competition to inspire a bit of innovation.

Gotta say, I wasn't expecting the "honeymoon phase" of switching to iPhone to last this long. :blush:

Of course, I'm a colossal nerd and ended up picking up a somewhat-functional "tricorder" app that I want to take geocaching. The thought of using a tricorder to look for stuff the way they did on Star Trek is just way too tempting. :blush: :blush:
Experience bij!

I'm a big fan of my Nexus 10. :cool:

WWDC Day:

Apple is announcing OS X: Mavericks (:rolleyes:), iOS 7 (looks nice), new MB Airs, and most importantly...



The New Mac Pro.

I want it.  :mad:

iOS7 does look nice, if a little bubbly.

I think I'd kick someone if I went to their house and they had that mac pro.

You do know I already own a 2008 Mac Pro... :unsure:

Unfortunately no pricing details were announced.  The spec sheet sounds amazing.  Probably too amazing - to the point where an Apple Geek like me can't possibly justify the cost of buying one as a home machine instead of an iMac.

Does your mac pro look like that? No.

My wife is losing patience with Apple.  Last year she bought a Samung phone, due to the bigger screen.

It looks like a waste bin...but the specs seem pretty good.

And it's made in 'Merica!

A mac laptop is increasingly tempting me despite the horrific rip off prices.
I just feel it would be useful for my chances of employment to gain experience with macs too...
Even second hand ones alas are expensive.

Disagree.  My wife's MBP is the nicest laptop I have ever had the pleasure of using.

The fact that second hand ones are expensive actually suggests that they are actually worth the cost...
