iPad email and photos; static memory

iPad email simplicity of use and quick response in deleting emails and moving to the next email creates the DESIRE in me to use my iPad to go through my emails on it rather than my MacBook. Steve Jobs was right. Just doing it better creates a platform for iPads to become another computing class. It is the multi-touchscreen that separates it from a previous tablets.

Photos - they look so amazing on the iPad. It has made me want to go back through my photos just to see what they look like full-screen. I just kept through picture after picture, amazed at how they looked.

Something else that I am beginning to appreciate about the iPad is that it doesn't boot up and the programs don't seem to load, everything is just there. I never realized how cool that was. I think all computers should move to solid state drives (flash memory). A little piece of history, in 1988, I was about to purchase a Dell computer that the main memory of the computer was static memory (the technology behind solid state drives, flash memory, and memory sticks). Then there was an embargo on Japanese static memory and we had to pay the same price for dynamic memory. I never got the computer with static memory. The power of static memory is that you could have a power failure and your computer would just come back to where you were because the memory never cleared. No more lost spreadsheets or school papers or huge documents vaporized because someone kicked the power plug.
