7 days living with... a tablet

I’ve taken delivery of the hallowed gadget and, as a staunch Android user, it’s horrible to see that I’m already getting sucked into the whole Apple marketing spiel. I feel special with my special white box as I specially find a cleared surface and some special me time where I can specially open the packaging and lovingly remove its special contents with extra special care. It makes me sick but I’m loving it. It’s like eating an expensive McDonalds and it’s clear very quickly that it’ll be hard separating the iOS intrusion into my life from the tablet it rides upon. I plug the sucker into the mains and get on with my work until it’s ready to go. Naturally, my first port of call is the App Store. Fortunately, there’s the best part of a £20 iTunes voucher still sitting on a log in I never use because iPad apps don’t come cheap.

A quick virtual shopping spree later and there’s a good page and a half extra on the desktop filled with games like Real Racing 2 HD and Mirror’s Edge but the one that has me glued to the device from dawn to dusk and back again is Infinity Blade. Ignoring the tour de force of iPad 2 technology that it represents, what’s of most note about it is that I’d rather play Infinity Blade than anything I’ve currently got on my Xbox 360 and, until know, I’d been happily blasting and questing my way through a fair few console titles.

What’s even better about tablet gaming is that you can take it anywhere - the bus, the train, the car, hotels, planes. Best of all I can play it while Mrs Pocket-lint is trying to talk to me about what kind of laminate flooring we’re going to buy for the basement and all the while, she thinks I’m browsing B&Q and the like when I’m simply gaming with the volume down. It’s astonishing how a few directed swipes of my finger can be easily masked with serious furrow in my brow instead of my usual tongue-lolling game face. Now that’s something you just can’t get away with when there’s a console controller in your hand. The part of the experiment I’ve most been looking forward to comes at bed time. A laptop’s a pain to take to bed and a mobile phone is too small. Surely this is what tablets were made for? Well, yes and no is the answer. Now this may be specific to the iPad 2, but it’s actually not that nice to hold. While it’s virtually paper thin, it’s still a fair old weight to lump around and that just means that its mass digs into your palm at a finer point and it’s not very comfortable, particularly when you’re supporting it with just the one while using the other to swish about on the screen. At the same time, whereas I had dreams of using it to read ebooks at this moment, actually, what I end up doing is just playing a few more fights on Infinity Blade. Not only does it actually prolong my wake time to beyond when I really ought to have the lights out for the sake of my beauty sleep, but jabbing swords through large evil creatures isn’t really soothe-yourself-to-sleep kind of stuff.
