Gym, tweets and pads ....

Alright first of all, Happy New Year to all my non-existent readers. Its been a good start to the year so far, where i've managed to do nothing of note.

So whats with the subject. Well for starters I've decided to gym longer and harder. I need to lose some flab... after losing 15 kgs, i've plateau'd at the same weight for over 2 years. My aim is to lose fat, and gain more muscle. I think i need to first change my diet, and control the booze... I'm already on it, and hopefully by the second half of the year, I should see results.

Tweets - Well its been over a year where i've been actively tweeting.. its been a great experience where I've met new friends. Learnt things that I wouldn't have. Tracked news faster than I've ever have. You people should try it ...

Pads - Well thats the iPad i'm talking about and definitely not something that ladies need once a month. Okay enough of that joke already. So iPad is a pretty good devide. Although I would not purchase it and here's why
1) Poor internet speeds in India - With 16,32 or 64GB, i'm looking at lot of online real estate. Frankly the speeds in India are not good enough to work with clouds.
2) No Multi-tasking - I like multi tasking. Even when i'm working, I have a page where I tweet, check my facebook updates, view RSS feeds, check cricket scores, chat with friends, listed to music and of course do work. Even at Home, I do the same thing. Therefore I need a hardware which just lets me do that.
3) Typing : Looking at the demo at the keynote speech, it seemed like typing a lot of stuff on the iPad is not a lot of fun.

Basically those are some of the grouses that i have. On the postive side for 499$ - 829$, this is a great thing to have. With such a large touch screen, some of the apps that can be built for it are phenomenal. I'm not much of a reader of books, but reading on the iPad is going to be a lot more fun. So overall I think iPad is going to do well, but I'm still not sold on it.

As for Pads, India played bangladesh and frankly I thought they didn't win any match with authority. So being no.1 isn't going to last long if thats the way they place. The real test is going to be against the south-africans next week.

Bye for now, Its time to hit the gym.
