The first Apple iPad in South Africa! (Perhaps?)
Sunday, April 11, 2010 at 2:51PM The 1st Apple iPad in South Africa (perhaps!) This is my friend Cois' iPad. I'm sorry that the video is taken sideways (and upside down!) please tilt your head ;-) It could be user error... It's the first time that I've taken a video with my iPhone where it hasn't autocorrected the aspect ratio...
The iPad is amazing! It would be an incredible tool for someone like myself who attends far too many meetings during the day (needing to have access to my schedule, my 5 email accounts, all my documents and spreadsheets, have a Bible and of course the ability to show promotional videos and copies of my books). If I had one of these I could simply carry the one piece of hardware with me everywhere and have everything I need to get my job done!
Watch the video if you can and let me know what uses you could have for a device like this. Who else wants an iPad!?

Count me in.
Is your neck sore from bending to watch it!? ha ha! Wes, it is a seriously amazing divice for a preacher as well! You can have your Bible, various commentaries, and of course all of your documents (and even powerpoints) - although they will be in Apple Pages and Apple Keynote.
It is amazing how Apple has worked out touch interface. It is incredible how they work out in what ways people interact not only with the hardware, but also with various pieces of software on the device (for example whether a page should be 'swiped' (like in the iBooks app) or whether it should be touched to turn to get a full page (like in the YouVersion Bible app). Incredible!)
Blessings, glad that Nats is home with you guys! We're praying for her full and speedy recovery!

Hi,
It looks great. Is not the downfall that you would have to have a wifi nearby as it has no 3G facility etc?

Hi David,
That is a problem here in South Africa! We certainly don't have the widely available free wifi coverage that they have elsewhere in the world. However, if you can afford to get a MiFi from Autopage, or if you have Jaikospot on your Nokia phone you'll be fine!
Blessings,
Dion
