    The iPad 3rd Gen Unboxing, Purchase Rationale and Top Apps

    by chad

    Seventh Messiah bandmate and long time friend James mentioned about HSBC offering Apple products with 0% interest, payable for 2 years, and that his brother got the New iPad (3rd Gen) with it. After looking at the 16GB version’s price, which is roughly around 24k PHP, I did the no-brainer math – 1k per month. He offered to swipe it (for the points maybe lol), and voila!

    c.) The productivity apps look promising, and could possibly boost motivation and efficiency in handling my business
    d.) The music apps interest me, and I wanna play around with ‘em, seeing that others use them in gigs and stuff
    e.) There are certain platform games I wanna play that are only available for the iPad
    f.) The 5MP HD video camera is awesome, I could use it as an extra camera for my personal shoots
    g.) I’ve always wanted to mess around with an Apple gadget, being the Windows enthusiast that I am
