The previous post that was tied to this one posed an important question at the end: does an iPad support my goals?
Yes, this is a business question. I suppose I’d be buying into the iPad culture — great, optimized content for a pioneering platform. Is that where I belong?
Here’s the deal: unlike what it’s meant for, I need to leverage the iPad primarily as a tool of production, not consumption. This means two things: more blogging, it that’s possible on this device (attaching files, video?) and also a testbed for new site content.
To see things in terms of production and not consumption is challenging. The last thing I need is more media consumption. I could try partnering with some developers like I’m doing with my Maui friends.
As long as it truly supports my goals, then it’s okay. Yet I’m still not totally convinced… (7/5)
