Yesterday we dropped off the kids at school etc and set off for a morning at the Metro Centre to have a wander around and a spot of lunch. Once on the A1, hubby asks me if I want to call in at PC World and have another look at the iPad. Immediately I suspect him of conning me into seeing a new 3D TV that he's got is eye on as a future purchase as Curry's is just next door.
So I agree and I stroll over to the Apple display, expecting hubby to follow me. I turn around and spot him deep in conversation with a sales assistant. Whatever, I am too engrossed in checking out the ipad apps to be bothered about him.
"Which do you think is the best? the Wifi or the 3G version?" he asks
Hmmmm
"Probably the 3G cos you'd only regret not having it if you didnt - Why?"
"No reason" - he's having a play around on the ipad next to me.
Hmmmm
I've been with this man for 24 years now, so think I know him pretty well, so I go for it!
"You're going to buy me one??"
"Do you want one?"
This could well be a more stupid question than the most stupid question I've ever asked, and if you know me you will know I'm highly experienced in that!
"Can we afford it?" (there you go - like I really care if we can afford it!)
So the outcome of the day was that we then had to make a mad dash to another store who had just taken a delivery that morning and actually had some for sale.
THEN I had to sit in Frankie and Bennies and have lunch knowing that my baby iPad was sitting in the car boot when I could have been at home ripping the packaging apart.
Unfortunately we never did get to the Metro Centre, and once home I didnt get to play with it until after my evening at college for one reason or another. It's still a work in progress as I get used to it, but I have all my iPhone Apps on there and a couple of new iPad ones.
I'm impressed with the quality of the screen and the apps made for iPad. It's got to be the best way to watch videos. I'm now looking for a new app to edit photos now.
Haven't I got the very bestest husband in the whole wide world?
You swine, although I would have no need for the 3G one i think. it costs enough without having to add data charges to it.We nearly bought one at the beginning of the week, but no one had one. We slept on it and decided against it :(
ReplyDeleteDan- that's what we thought until we found out that you can do pay as you go and only pay for it when you need it day by day if required. We will probably only use it occasionally but decided we would prefer to have the option.
