The Morning After the Morning After the Night Before
Althouse wakes up with her hot new iPad and wonders....I have a laptop (MacBook Pro) and an iPhone, so what am I doing with an iPad?I'm not going to pick it up from my bedside to check the time and a couple websites when I wake up. I'm not going to read it from a completely supine position, as I often do with the iPhone, when I'm in bed and not ready to sit up. I might use it in bed if I am sitting up, because it turns on instantly and if I'm ready to read but not yet inclined to write. It's very nice for checking email because of the relatively big, bright screen and the way, in landscape mode, I can see the list of email to the left and display any given item on the right. I appreciate that I can lock it into landscape or portrait mode and read while lying on my side. That's something the iPhone won't do. Of course, the iPhone, unlike the iPad, is a phone, and that makes it the one thing I want to have near me all the time.Short honeymoon.

Your Say
"Short honeymoon" - judging by her posts on the current White House occupant, it's not her only one.
