Mav's Breve video

[Fat Crip]

Well that was quick! Nice vid, as ever! Very bright colour!

Have you changed your camera, or is it just my screen?

[Pilar]

Nice video indeed, both the Breve and the Ipad2 look sweet

[MtnMan]

It is best seen in HD mode. That really brings out the detail.

It's awesome -- that's exactly how Kiwi looks in real life.

same camera, but i was able to shoot during daylight and that must have helped. i definitely haven't come near your screen. ;-)

by the way, sorry that i mis-pronounced breve.

darcy, this is how kiwis look in real life!

[Darcy]

Or this!

Or this!

The Kiwi (as pictured) has technically the shortest beak of any bird. This is because the length of a birds beak is measured from the nostrils to the tip of the beak. The Kiwi has its nostrils at the tip of its beak rather than the head end, like most birds. UselessTrivia'r'us.

P.S. I prefer the Kiwi colour in Mav's video, even if the bird is cuter!

awwww, how cute!

Incidentally Mav, have you bought an iPad 2, or did you just borrow it for the vid? I thought that you were off iPads now you'd got your MBA. Is the 2 much of a step forward from the original? It doesn't come here till the 25th.

If you came over here you might see one of me too!

So is it good, or are you suffering buyer's remorse yet?

no - not at all.

actually, i purchased an elliptical exercise machine that arrived the same day that the ipad was released. so the ipad is my source of entertainment when i exercise. it makes exercising more fun, and that alone makes the ipad a worthwhile purchase for me!

but on top of that, national geographic recently released their dinopedia for the ipad. that alone makes it a worthwhile purchase for my son.

let's just say it's best for me to finish exercising before my son wakes up.

actually, there is a lot of cool educational software for the ipad. i downloaded something from nasa. we haven't had a chance to look at all that it offers, but you have information about all of the planets in the solar system and and galaxies in there.

there is a memory game we like to play.

the user interface is very intuitive, very easy for kids of all ages to pick up.

and this is just the start. we are a year into the ipad ecosystem, and the software is maturing. it's only going to get better and better.
