Hotel Marigold
Ian and I took a jaunt into Norwich yesterday to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Despite the very early timing (11.50am) the cinema was packed with senior citizens, all roaring with laughter at this excellent film. We followed it with a delicious meal at Bella Italia , then a leisurely bus journey home.
Retirement is very good.
For those of you who prefer to stay at home glued to your computer, here’s the latest Apple Ipad news:
The new Ipad was formerly unveiled in San Francisco last night. This 3rd Generation iPad is running a dual-core processor with quad-core graphics. That means it’s good. Processor speed is a tad slower than some tablets, but the retail price of £390 is kind of reasonable, I suppose (although more than twice as much as the wonderful – to me at any rate – Blackberry Playbook.)
The screen resolution on the new Ipad is brilliant – 2048 x 1536 if you’re into technicalities – and this makes it yet again the highest quality tablet screen on the market and much higher than the resolution to be defined as HD.
Also new to the iPad is a 5-megapixel camera which is pretty darn good and almost the best around when it comes to tablets. It can record video in HD and has a stabilisation feature where a shaky hand won’t lead to shaky videos. Fantastic! Just right for people like me.
A great new feature on the iPad is the microphone, which allows you to dictate rather than type. There’s now a microphone button on the iPad keyboard.
One thing that didn’t change as much as was expected is the size and shape, with an almost identical shape that is just slightly thicker and also a little bit heavier. This makes room for the ever-so-slightly-larger new parts inside the new iPad.
As always, you can expect to find new iPad accessories such as a new iPad case range at GearZap.com, plus a lot of other really good stuff. Take a visit over there and have a look for yourself.
As for me, well, I’m sticking with my lovely Blackberry Playbook. I like the smaller size and it works brilliantly with my Blackberry phone. At the moment, Ipads don’t tempt me. Not too much, anyway.
It is Lent, after all.
