The Apple iPad arrived this weekend along with the Easter Bunny and chocolate eggs. Rabbits and eggs are pagan fertility symbols that have somehow become intertwined with the Christian holiday, but there was something of an appropriate irony in Apple choosing this particular weekend to launch the iPad, since it is in many ways a harbinger of things to come.
I’ve been becoming familiar with mine for the past few days and continue to believe that it’s going to be a game-changer, especially for professional photographers, because of what it implies for the publishing industry. Print media will never be the same again.
There are also some new iPad specific apps that are either paticularly cool, or that may appeal to nature and landscape photographers, and one of these that I quite enjoy is Emerald Observatory.
Whether you’re an astronomy buff, a time freak, or a photographer looking for information about sunrise and sunset times, as well as the moon’s phase and position, Emerald Observatory will be the best .99 cents that you’ll spend this week.
