Yes, I got an iPad.
I was always planning to get one really. But I didn’t want to seem over eager. I couldn’t reserve one sight unseen. That’s what I told myself.
But then last week – with all the announcements and reviews – I couldn’t say no to the building iPad momentum. So on Saturday morning, I woke up at 7am and by 10:30am I was back home with my iPad.
I love it. Using it is addictive.
My favorite app so far? Tab Toolkit.
Tab Tookit is a really nice viewer/player for Guitar Pro/Power Tab tabs on the iPhone. It’s priced as a premium app for the iPhone at $10, but it is really well done. You can add tabs from the app itself, i.e. you don’t need to go to a computer and send files to it. And it can do the stuff that I care about – playing only selected tracks and adjusting the tempo.
If you’ve ever used the site Songsterr, it’s that in pocket form.
Well for the iPad, instead of releasing a separate app, they upgraded the existing iPhone app and it’s just what I’ve always wanted.

The extra resolution really makes it compelling to use.
It’s my “killer app”
And not to mention, the iPad works beautifully on a music stand.
