Steve Jobs

I'm waiting to install iOS5 on my phone and iPad, and find myself thinking about Steve Jobs.  The photo here shows only the Apple products that I use every single day.  Not pictured are many others that are still in use in my household - the oldest one is a white laptop my son bought 9 years ago.  The battery will no longer charge but plug that sucker in and it still connects to the wireless network.  Also downstairs is the old lampshade type iMac

waiting for iPad3

I came really close.  Went to the Apple store the day after the iPad 2 arrived.  Had one been available for me to buy right there and then, I would most likely have done so.

But when I got home I started thinking more about it.  The camera on the 2 is only so-so, I think my phone camera is better.  And yes, the 2 is lighter but I don't really travel so much that this is an issue.  So while I really like the 2, I'm going to hold on to my original iPad for now and wait for 3!

Besides, there are rumors that it will appear later this year in order to sync up with a fall release schedule.  So for now, I'm waiting.

I spent a week without my laptop, just the iPad and my phone.  I'm frustrated that there is no photo app out there that works the way I'd like for travel.  I want to be able to dump all my photos, move them into albums (or at the very least rate them), edit and then upload the ones I like to Smugmug.  All that is easy in iPhoto on my mac, but not so much on the iPad.

I wish I had time to create an app, I know I'm not the only one who wants this. I'm sure if I developed the app I want, it would make money.  But I just don't have the time.  :-(
