ReBreathe: The iPad Killer

The other day my pocket got picked. I ended up losing my wallet, which was a sad thing, but this event put me into a market for an item that I hadn't truly considered. If you know me well, (or if you know me superificially), you'll know that I'm a forgetful person. The statement itself isn't completely true. The truth is, if I consider something important, I'll spend a lot of time thinking about it, and thus, I won't forget it. Like our taxes. I spent a lot of time thinking about how I could give money to my Uncle Sam, so I didn't forget that it was due on April 15th. But things like 'where my wallet is' gets a little less air time on WVRY (combination talk-show/Top 40 format). So there's been a lot of talk about the iPad these days. I'd like to introduce you to the iManPurse. This is part of my ongoing personal development journey. I'm not the same man that I was yestergay, so there's no real shame in pursuing new and different ways of living. Right? So what's an iManPurse? And how does it compare to an iPad? First of all, it's called an iMP. Just so you know. Similar to the iPad, the iMP can fit any kind of lifestyle. What we were looking for, in this case, was something that could complement the Coolness of Active Lifestyle. If this phrase seems strange, it is because it *is* strange. No matter, folks here seem to ignore English taglines anyways. So while you could get an iMP that reflected Luxury in Ageless Fashion or Fitness Mountain Tribes, I finally picked this one:

So right now it's a draw between the iPad and iMP since, I heard, you can customize your iPad by buying different apps. Whatever that means. Well let's look at battery life. The iPad gets 10 hours on every recharge. The saleslady told me that the iMP never needs recharging. Point goes to iMP. What about email? Well the iMP can carry your iPhone AND your letters from the post office. The iPad...can't carry your iPhone but it can carry your email. But it can't carry your letters from the post office. Point goes to iMP

When I touch my iMP I don't leave all sorts of nasty smudge marks everywhere. So I guess point goes to iMP here too. For cost, well I got my iMP plus a free wallet thrown in for $6.71. For the price of an iPad I could've had 74 differen iMPs. Think of all the possibilites: a jacket made of iMPs, a luxurious towel, and then maybe some handy briefs. (I don't think anyone would want to pick that pocket.)
