I was always an Apple sceptic – I've got my Blackberry for Tweeting and my Flip video camera for spur-of-the-moment movie-making – how many gadgets does a girl need???
Then Kris bought me an Apple iPad and showed me how to buy my favourite magazines online. There's nothing like the smell or tactility of a brand new mag, but I have to admit I'm loving the convenience of having all my favourites stored in sleek tablet, rather than having to lug a pile of magazines around along with all the baby gear.
Kris showed me how to hold my finger on the articles and pictures I wanted to save or email to a friend, and now I'm well and truly Mac-ified! I've even been checking out cool overview apps like 'Flipboard' that pull together all my favourite articles, pics and social networking updates. It's like editing my own magazine.
