What’s on Your iPad? A simple question but one that leads to some fascinating answers. This is another installment of our now-regular series of What’s on Your iPad posts. I enjoy these a lot because I love seeing how people put their iPads to use – and I find them a great resource for discovering new apps.
Today’s answers are provided by Wayne Schulz. I’ve enjoyed Wayne’s online writing and his sharing of some of the most bizarre and funny wonders of the web for many years, ever since I got to know it during his stint as an editor at Gear Diary. These days I keep up with him and talk with him mainly via Facebook and Google+ – and I’m very happy he took time to do this post with me. Here’s a little more Bio blurb on Wayne:
Wayne is a technology fan who lives in Glastonbury CT and provides support and implementation services for the Sage 100 ERP accounting software. http://about.me/wayneschulz
Here are Wayne’s answers – questions are in regular text, Wayne’s answers are in block quotes:
Which iPad model do you use? (original or iPad 2, WiFi or WiFi + 3G, storage size) Any particular reasons for choosing this model?
I have all three models (the first two models being WiFi and having since been passed down to the kids).
My current iPad is the latest version (iPad 3) though I skipped over a WiFi only version and went with a Verizon 64 GB LTE model.
I was a little hesitant about moving to a model with a monthly fee if I wanted data access. Here’s why I ultimately chose the iPad with Verizon LTE (a decision I’m still happy with):
- Can turn the LTE on and off at will – no contract
- Verizon allows you to use your iPad to tether other devices (I’m using it to tether my MacBook Pro) with NO additional fee. (Note: I do NOT believe AT&T offers iPad tethering for free).
- The concept of “I’ll just connect to WiFi’ so I don’t need a data connected iPad is great except I use my iPad for note taking and connecting to Basecamp during visits to customers. It has been my experience that most companies don’t want to leave their WiFi access open and tracking down the IT folks to obtain a WiFi password is problematic. Now I can simply power up my LTE and I’m ready to go. I’m often tethering my MacBook Pro at the same time.
