iPad Vs Android tablet

I've had my iPad now for almost 2 1/2 years and I can't say I like it any more than I did when I first got it for all the same reasons. Trouble is that if I want to use guitar processing apps then I have to use an iPad because the Android spec has too much latency for music processing and is therefore not up to the job of real time signal processing without noticeable lag. As a result nobody bothers to port the guitar apps to Android.

So, I'm left with two choices. Get rid of the iPad and lose my guitar apps, or just get an additional Android tablet and be able to do all the things the iPad can't do, or do very well. The second option is clearly the way to go, especially as I've just got an 8 inch tablet for Sheila and its terrific. It's a much better size than the Apple device for carrying around, and lighter too, plus expandable storage, and a more flexible operating system. It also compliments my Gopro well because after I've filmed something I can watch the footage immediately on the Android tablet. I feel a purchase coming on!

Update: I got an Asus Memo 7. It is an amazing little thing. It does everything the iPad does and hell of a lot more too, and for only £99. Well worth having as it's much more usable on the move than the iPad is. Now I need to get rid of the iPad and get a Sony Xperia tablet.

Two years!

Blimey, I've just realised that it's been two years since I last added anything to my blog. Lots of things have been going on, in fact lots of mostly really good things, so I guess I've just been a bit too preoccupied to stick bits of it all in here from time to time. We've been on lots of brilliant trips, done lots of interesting new things, and I'm now into a whole new set of new ways to spend my time so I really must start adding the gist of it all in here.

Looking back at what I've added in the past acts as a really good memory jogger so I'm going to aim to do at least one new post a week starting right NOW!
