This little piggy went to Market

Over the last few months I have found myself having to upgrade stuff. It started when my PC went tits up, followed a few weeks later by my lappy. This left me with out a PC at all so I first decide to by a new lappy. I decided this time to get a Samsung R522 with which I am really pleased with it is powerful enough to do all that my desktop did. Although for photo editing and playing World of Warcraft I prefer the desktop. Only because of the monitor as it is much bigger and colour doesn't change depending on from what angle it is looked at. The laptop also came with windows 7 and having stuck with xp for as long as I could (before that ‘98 till I had no choice) was a little apprehensive. There was no need I love it seems to be similar to vista but everything (so far) works.

The next thing I got was an iphone  I have used smart phones for a while mainly used for reading ebooks and making notes apart from as a phone so when orange offered one as an upgrade I took it. It does everything I wanted my PDA to do which at the time didnt do very well.

The note book works well and I actually use it. I found a really good ebook app “Stanza” which so far has has taken every type of book file I have tried. Although I have only got 8gig it has been more than big enough for my needs including some music and the podcast audio books I have found. Lots of free stuff which is always good. Camera is rubbish but found some fun editing apps and drawing ones either very cheap or free. Even an app that  I can write this blog on (I'm on lappy at the moment though.

Not very good but had fun messing.

So now I have more stuff to occupy myself rather than doing what I am supposed to doing.

In the new year I must get around to my proper camera .
