Comment on iPad 2 as powerful as a G4 PowerBook! by Tony Moody

Thanks for posting. This site is built on WordPress. I didn’t do any extensive comparison of the various platforms to be honest – WordPress was the one I’d heard the most about so I basically just went ahead with it.

That said, I did spend a great deal of time looking at different templates before settling on this one. It looked pretty much exactly like I wanted it to look without much of any customizing. I just selected the stuff I wanted in the sidebar and that was pretty much it.

I’d recommend setting up the page and posting a couple things, then going through and Applying templates to what you’ve done until you find one you like. ie don’t just look at the example. Good luck!

Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my
own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

Nothing wrong with a fall back! We still have our household iMac which serves these days primarily as a photo hub. Most everything else is in the cloud – music, videos, etc. Good luck!!

I think I’ve decided something a bit odd. I’m going to sell/trade my MacBook for an iPad of some sort. (Even a mini, perhaps.) Then buy either an older PowerBook or iMac G4 for my more traditional experience. Not for anything intense, of course. But as a bit of a fallback – not to mention the appeal of ownership. So, iMac G4, Flowerpot iMac, and iPhone 5. Should be pretty interesting.

I think when China and India are as saturated as the US Apple will need another product category in order to grow (materially) from that point. We shall see….

I love people crying on this topic. Most companies don’t dream with such a nice profit but Apple is in trouble.

It is dumb if you ask me, Apple will be fine for a while. The iPad continue having 75% of the profit in the market. I will not be worried at all.

But let’s say that the boat is sinking. In the mean time the iPad will continue to be my main machine.

Thank you! To your question, to be totally honest, on the one hand I say “yes” in that I still use my 3 and it works fine. That said, I’ve played with a 4 and it’s noticeably faster. HOWEVER, I might choose a slightly different route depending on circumstances. If you can wait until say April/May it’ll be interesting to see whether Apple reverts back to original form and gets back on a spring release cycle for the next iPad. The 4 was both a major and minor refresh if you follow me. Rumor is that the 5 will be fast or faster than the 4, but also thinner and lighter, possibly with a narrower mini-style side bezel.

It may be worth waiting for, OR, at that time, you could purchase a 4 whose price would then presumably be lower (ie similar to pricing for the 3 now). Make sense? Let me know what you decide and good luck!

Hey! I love the blog!

I’m thinking about trading my MacBook (older version) for an iPad 3. Because of the 4 being out now, do you feel this possible combo of mine (iPhone 5 / iPad 3) will still suffice? I do a good bit of email processing, heavy web browsing including videos, photo editing and management (to a limited extent), among other typical iPad-y things. I understand you’re still on a 3, so does it still hold up with everything you’ve thrown at it, especially in recent months?

Thanks!

Comment on Apple CEO Tim Cook goes (almost) iPad Alone by Tony Moody

That’s certainly a good point about CEO’s in general, and I would say that the larger the organization, the truer it is. I also agree that the next massive global corporate upgrade cycle will be fascinating to watch. Between Windows 8, BB10, and the tablet category as a whole, things should continue to get interesting!
