Hey everyone..I'm Eli.
Some of you might know me from the CrackBerry forums, because I own a few BlackBerry devices (a phone and the tablet).
However, tonight, I am the proud owner of an new device.
Back in 2007, I bought the very first iPod touch. It served me very well over the years, and it lasted me from 2007 until 2012. I have been wanting to get another one for a while, but I never got around to it.
So, I did what any good person would do in order to do research on Apple devices. I went to the Apple store. The one I went to was on 5th Ave. in Manhattan.
When I got there, I asked a lot of question to many people to find out as much as I could about the new iPod and the iPad Mini.
Two hours later, I made my decision and I am now the proud owner of an iPad Mini in white..the wifi only 16gig version.
The thing I found really cool about this device while playing with it is how incredibly THIN it is. I was comparing it to my PlayBook(which I also really like) and it's really a featherweight. It's amazing.
Siri was nice to play with as well (I had some fun with it).
However, the thing that I found really cool was when an Apple employee showed me that if you swipe out to either side on the keyboard, it SPLITS into two. That was a really nice feature...especially in Landscape mode..and since I have a blog and like to write, that feature will be very useful to me.
Anyways, I rambled on long enough. Tomorrow..er..later today.. I will set everything up and look forward to getting some great use out of it.
I guess the one question I have is this: I JUST did an update for 17 of my apps via the app store in iTunes. These are all apps that I bought and used on my 1st gen iPod.
Will they work on my iPad mini or will I have to either buy or download newer versions? Does anyone know?
Thanks
-Eli
