It occurred to me that when the times change, we have to change with them. With the addition of the iPad into our lives, there are many opportunities coming our way. On PadPundit, Scott Bourne talked about his 99 cent app, new to the iTunes store. Avian, 15 images of assorted birds for your viewing pleasure. Imagine that.
While not a bird fan, I could certainly see myself buying photo apps of diners or carnivals or buildings. I Googled app making(?) and was directed to the iPhone Developer Program on the Apple site. Didn't check it out thoroughly but there seems to be a $99 charge to get started. Not much else required from what I could see. Having a super-smart techie SIL is going to help.
The cool thing is that there is room for everyone. Photos not your thing? do you game? Or Something brand new. While we can't run apps on PC's, the day has to be coming. If it doesn't, app and iPad will take over the world....Just checked the iPad stats and as of a minute ago, 871,169 iPads have been sold in the US since they came out the beginning of April. I can't find one locally so when I am ready to pull the trigger, it will be at the Apple web site.
The core remains the same. We are still getting info, just in a different way and we are still trying to get the word - what ever we have our head wrapped around at any given time. Bulleye's marks the spot, yours and mine. It is a whole new world and I don't want to miss a thing...
