iPad, Galaxy Note or Pen & Paper

iPad, Galaxy Note or Pen and Paper?

I see a lot of video’s and links on social networks sites about what ‘this person’ or ‘that artist’ thinks of the new Galaxy tablet or how it compares to the iPad. I’d be keen to find out how different they are from A: someone who isn’t an artist/Technology expert. And B: isn’t being paid to tell me how great it is.

I’d definitely be interested in buying one, but hate pushy sales people, and don’t think I can genuinely trust the majority of reviews that are advertised. Don’t get me wrong there are some great sites that do fair and honest reviews, but not enough that I can get a ‘average’ view without half the info being from a paid third party.

Currently sticking with Papyrus and an HB!

Rant over!

Don't believe the hype... or do?

So it's that time again, it's new and exciting. Its Apple, its iPhone and its 5!
But I'm not quite ready to put grandma on eBay just yet... I'm currently sporting what I believed to be a rather natty Samsung Galaxy SII, yes I know the GS III is out and I'm clearly a Techno-dinosaur.

The thing is... I don't think I am, the GSII is great phone and was so new and exciting compared to my last few iPhones/Blackberrys that when I saw the GSIII, I was a little underwhelmed. And that's my issue with the iPhone 5, I haven't seen it yet, I don't even know what it can do yet, but I'm still skeptical.

I want it to be great, I really do. I would like to toss my GSII aside like the garnish left on your starter plate as the main course arrives. "To the man drawer with you, you are now an understudy phone!"

But I have the Porsche fear, will it really be different? A new supercharged engine, fancy leather seats with monogrammed trim, a carbon fibre dashboard and air freshener that doubles as a breath mint... but when you take out for a Sunday drive, you can't move for the traffic jam of every other Porsche on the road...

I read blogs and leaks and insider info on it, and i have no doubt it will be a beautiful piece of advanced technology. But does it deserve the hysteria that usually comes with an Apple launch?

I'm waiting for something different, unless the hype is right
