Investigation of the iPad 2 Mobile Photography Editing Capabilities by Chris Corradino
From the day we bought an original iPad for testing, NYI Student Advisor Chris Corradino fell in love with it. Frankly, we were starting to worry how we’d get it back, but Apple solved that problem by bringing out the iPad 2. Chris, who lives in Long Island, was so smitten with the iPad that he joined the first-day throng at the Apple Store at Roosevelt Field Mall. Here’s his report on the experience, along with a round-up of his favorite iPad apps.
This was the first time I ever participated in a launch day purchase, and it was quite the event. When I arrived at the Apple Store on March 11th, there was no line to be seen. It was about 10:15 in the morning so I wondered if maybe I was first to arrive. Not likely considering the hype and anticipation that had been surrounding the device. I asked an employee who said “the line is forming downstairs and outside in the parking garage.” Did she just say “parking garage?” I descended into the depths of the cold, dank lower level of the mall and sure enough, about 25 people were already on line. The cement was stained with oil, and quite frankly it smelled of urine and cigarettes. This was so far from the slick, polished appearance of the way Apple normally does business. We’re all here to spend a substantial amount of money
