Just got my iPad

Post by Falco Girgis »

So when I got in to work today, my boss handed me a two boxes. One was a brand new iPad and the other was a case. It's pretty damn sleek looking, definitely. I'll let you guys know what I think once I get to using it more.

Hopefully this doesn't turn into another tosh.o type thing. If you see someone coming towards you with a golf club, run.

Enjoy your corporate perks, bitch. :p

I get perks at work too... such as free OT when my management fails to replace 2 employees after their 2 week notice and when others are on a force or rather 'managed' vacation time. Go me. Yeah. Wooo... /me cries

Dear god, they actually ported ES to a piece of celery!

Out of pure curiosity, what does your boss expect you to do with the iPad? Are you guys developing games for the touch screen?

Sorta kinda. Our current project is eventually going to be for iPhone/Pad but isn't now.

I'm having my senior project (for my computer engineering degree) funded by our company, and it will be developing for iPhone/iPad. But the main reason for us getting them is for fun.

I know it's only an iPad, but seeing that done to ANY tech makes me cringe!

I didn't but that's because I've seen too many blend videos :(
