I think we're a normal couple...at least we hope so. On a recent trip to Arizona we took along one laptop computer, one Netbook computer, one Blackberry Playbook, one Kobo e-reader, two Blackberries and three iPods. That's normal...isn't it? The scary thing about travelling with all this stuff is that if they x-ray our luggage someone might think we're packing bomb components. Imagine what the maze of devices, chargers and cables must look like when x-rayed.
It's a wired world! Or, rearrange the letters and it's a weird world! I think it's both!
With all that stuff you'd figure we'd be maxed out. Not! While away, I got jealous of her Kobo e-reader and had to have one. It weighs about a third as much as the Playbook and the paper white screen is easy on the eyes and can be read comfortably in full sun light. To top it off, Kobo perfected edge lighting with the Kobo Glo and you can also read in the dark. Since our return we've picked up a second Kobo Glo and I'm lovin' it.
We're not done yet. On the wish list are iPhones to replace the Blackberries when our contracts expire and we're pretty convinced that we need at least one iPad. I think we're only couple we know who don't have an iPad. The Apple thing is pretty additive. Sorry Blackberry. You pretty much caught up with Blackberry 10 but as I posted recently we're likely to see iPhone 6, 7 & 8 before we ever see Blackberry 11.
Speaking of Apple (AAPL), their shares are off over 40% since the peak of $705.00 last fall. Seems the market expects a home run every quarter from the greatest innovator ever. Rumours are all about iWatch, an Apple smart watch. I figure Apple just planted that rumour to get everyone else blowing their brains out on smart watch development. Samsung & Google will introduce smart watches and then wake up to the fact that we all quit wearing watches a long time ago.
