It would mean the world.
First of all, can I just say that I am an avid reader of the TiPb news and I enjoy each and every one of the podcasts?
I am quite ecstatic with this current competition that TiPb has going. This is, by far, one of the larger giveaways I have seen. The four chances to win and the selection of your own prize is quite the gift to give to the holiday shoppers.
I am a student that constantly assists others with their technology and as everyone is progressing and getting the latest and greatest, I am stuck behind with a 4 year old computer that cannot hold a battery charge and an old, no service iPhone.
My main uses for computers is for reading up on the latest tech news (like my daily TiPb readings
) and composing documents and presentations for my advanced level classes. I don't expect a whole lot from a computer, just the ability to create my presentations, read my news, and mobility.
Frankly, my computer fails to live up to my simple standards by lacking the mobility issues and little power needed for document processing.
Today, with the technology behind the iPad 2 and the combined mobility of the new iOS 5 and iCloud, I would be able to manage my simple tasks and always stay connected. Since the announcement of the original iPad, I have been glued to computers everywhere literally drooling over its features.
I had previously entered the other giveaways that TiPb has done for such a device and I was without luck. Seeing as TiPb is going to such generous lengths to give away 4 of the $600 gift cards, I felt as if I should toss my name into the hat and hope for the best.
Having an iPad would mean a lot to me as it would definitely help me with school work and I could always be connected. I could also enjoy such features as the Facetime interaction and excellent speed and gaming.
In today's poor economy, no matter how many times I ask Santa
, I doubt that I, or my family, would be able to afford such a device. (It would probably take a few decades of the elves' salaries to afford it seeing as they don't charge delivery fees!)
I would really be grateful if I were to win the gift card towards the device and I would really like to thank TiPb to the deepest of my abilities.
With very much appreciation, I would like to wish each and every TiPb[er] some joyous holidays.
