I woke up first thing this morning to take a drive to Erie, PA. I was going in search of notebooks for my Livescribe pen (if you don’t have one, you NEED one!) I had looked online for them, and they were out of stock on the Number 1 3-subject notebooks, which is the one I need, of course.
So, it was off to Erie, which is the closest city I can find a Target, Best Buy and Staples, which all sell the Livescribe pen and accessories. I was telling my sister last night that I was going, and my niece asked if she could go as well. I figured sure, it would save me from having to drive alone. So my niece and nephew both joined me on my little journey to Erie.
We stopped at Best Buy first, which had the Number 1 notebook, but not 2 through 8 (I will have to order those online, I guess), and also the number 1-4 one-subject notebooks.
But as we were in Best Buy, we looked around and they had 2 iPads sitting out as demo models. My niece played around with one, I played around with the other. My nephew wasn’t interested. He just wanted to play around with the video games. By the time we were done messing with the iPads and were ready to check out other items at the store, my niece and I both had decided that the iPad was a complete waste of money. She already has an iPod Touch, and had it with her.
Her question to me was: “Why would I spend $500 on an iPad, that is heavier and harder to carry around than my iPod, when my iPod already does all of this?”
