Tomorrow the new iPad arrives and I\’m rather excited for the upgrade. I am currently using the original model which has been great, but there\’s much to like in the third generation.
Instead of simply doing a backup and restore to get everything on the new device, I\’m going to take a more considered approach and only put the things I really need for now. There\’s plenty to go back and get if I want from two years worth of apps – not too mention all the content I\’ve also collected.
Remembering back to the original days with my iPad, it was amazing how quickly I started leaving my laptop at my desk and even at the office. I\’m not sure that\’s completely possible today thanks to VPN requirements, but I definitely see a strong return of the iPad in my campus and client meetings. LTE should also be killer on my commute … I\’ve got two hours a day to burn through on the train and the mega speed boost and enhanced screen for reading are what I\’m most looking forward to taking advantage of every day.
