(That&#8217;s the official name given by Apple, isn&#8217;t it?) I never thought I&#8217;d get one, because my iPad 2 is already performing so well. So what&#8217;s new? Let me remind you of the facts of my iPad 2 first: white 32GB 3G. My new iPad? White 32GB 3G. So what&#8217;s new? Basically I&#8217;d say only the retina display is new, because my iPad 2 is still fast, still got sufficient space, is white, \u2026 So only the retina display is new. That&#8217;s why when it was released in March I never thought I&#8217;d get one, but would wait for the fourth gen instead. The turning point was the release of MBP with retina display. I set a new target &#8211; I&#8217;d &#8220;retinalize&#8221; my devices asap. Given that the new MBP is crazily expensive, I thought maybe the iPad is a good start especially when I&#8217;ve decided that I&#8217;d continue to read and read. As I hold one in hand now, I wouldn&#8217;t regret. The retina display alone is a very good reason to switch to a new machine. The feeling as I switched from the original iPhone to the iPhone 4 recurred today. And that feeling is great.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"slb_group[5] slb\" href=\"http:\/\/anzyme.com\/buddy1\/img\/d_120626.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" title=\"new ipad\" src=\"http:\/\/anzyme.com\/buddy1\/img\/d_120626.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"slb_group[5] slb\" href=\"http:\/\/anzyme.com\/buddy1\/img\/d_120626_2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" title=\"writing chinese\" src=\"http:\/\/anzyme.com\/buddy1\/img\/d_120626_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Besides adopting the latest technology, I also decided to do something old school lately &#8212; write some Chinese. The thing is, for a period of time I found that my competence in Chinese is deteriorating dangerously. Not only is my handwriting poor, but that occasionally I have absolutely no idea how to write a certain words. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve decided I&#8217;d handwrite a short Chinese passage every day, which can help me improve both my handwriting and my vocabularies. This is sad, isn&#8217;t it? A local student has to go back to square one and practice Chinese handwriting.. But for the sake of my future children, I guess this is a must.<\/p>\n<p>Next, new (old) photos. Well, as I become less occupied lately I have time selecting the best shots taken in my elective trip and upload them. So here&#8217;s the second day in Umea.
