Also, you can buy a Mac abroad and the Protection Plan at home and you have all the benefits of the plan as if you bought the Mac at home as well.

Apple also offers a вЂњProtection PlanвЂќ to extend warranty services to 3 years and this is normally valid worldwide for portable devices which is of course great when youвЂ™re travelling. There are alternatives though: In Italy the iPhone is sold freely via the Apple Store (599 в‚¬ / 699 в‚¬ for the iPhone 3 GS 16/32 GB).

One other main reason of sticking to Apple was that Apple did not treat their user as a criminal by not requiring вЂproduct activation keysвЂ™ (like Microsoft started with XP) or other make-life-difficult techniques.ДЄpparently with the iPhone Apple has changed its policy and patronizes users in Germany by not allowing them to buy an iPhone and use it as they want but bundling it with an expensive two-year T-Mobile contract. I often considered using a Linux machine instead of my Apple computers for their open source-ness, but never did so because a Mac was just easier to use by far (and still is!). For an English text, I of course want to have the English auto-correction dictionary, but I donвЂ™t want to give up my German keyboard layout for that since I am used to it.ДЄs an Apple user from the very first click, I am delighted to see that Apple products have become increasingly popular over the past couple of years.

While it helps that you can input Г¤, Г¶, Гј, Гџ in a fast way by just sliding over the letters a, o, u, s, respectively, it is annoying that you cannot choose your keyboard layout independent of the auto-correct language. But irrespective of hand-written notes being вЂњanalogвЂќ, it is also not very convenient or fast to write them.ДЄnd last but not least, the support for international characters is missing if youвЂ™re not an English-only writer. I also tried with an iPad pen ( a cheap, but highly rated one) for hand-written notes, although I believe that notes should be digital so that they can be searched. Nevertheless it helps a bit to correct some mis-spellings if you follow closely what you write to notice any wrong corrections.ДЄpart from that I also find it hard to navigate in the text using my fingers: When I just want to move the cursor to the beginning of the line it always selects the first word and I have to point again with my finger to deselect the text. It corrected a slightly mis-spelled вЂњunobscuredвЂќ (as in unobscured quasar) into вЂњuninsuredвЂќ (which is even slightly funny) and of course it dressed up a blazar into a blazer. The built-in auto-correct function also doesnвЂ™t really help in this respect as it over-corrects at least in an astronomy setting where it cannot know about most abbreviations and names. For this reason it is also nearly impossible to type on the iPad and not look at the screen (like I often do to follow a conference talk) because you would probably write so many typos that it would be hard to recognize what youвЂ™ve written. I think the reason for this is mainly that my fingersвЂ™ positions get re-adjusted (unconsciously) to the correct position of the keys after each letter whereas this feedback is missing for the electronic keyboard of the iPad. When I write on a real keyboard I donвЂ™t have to use the backspace key very often and can type much faster than on the iPad. This is not just an aesthetic difference, but I think it is the main reason why the texts I write on the iPad sometimes look like theyвЂ™ve been written by a monkey. I tried it digitally by using the built-in keyboard in its various variants (fullsize, split, movable), but it is just not the same if you donвЂ™t have feedback from the keys that you press. Writing on the iPad is just too error-prone. Tomorrow I will switch back to my MacBook Air that I also brought with me.

Right now, I am at a conference and I thought I try using the iPad as a conference notepad. Also watching movies or reading newspapers (the SГјddeutsche Zeitung of Munich has a really good app for their newspaper) is fun, although the glossy screen limits the use of the iPad to really dark locations. So for paper reading (with GoodReader) and synchronizing (still with Dropbox) this is really great. It is fast, it is only slightly lighter, but the great display makes you want to hold it maybe a little longer. However, the iPad 1 was heavy and slow and so scrolling through papers was not a very enjoyable task and after a while you simply wanted to have a rest for your arms. With Dropbox, which is really one of the best вЂњcloudвЂќ services around, this worked pretty well. I had the iPad 1 not too long after it came out and started to explore the technical possibilities of paperless paper-reading, commenting and synchronizing.
