Ipad or Myplate which one should I buy?
Eat off your Computer Tablet!
It may have been a little bit of a hard choice to choose a tablet computer but not any more with the new Google MyPlate which wins hands down over the Ipad2.
The MyPlate lets you eat not only your breakfast, lunch and dinner off of it but you can also do Google search, Use Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and everything else in between while you dribble all over it ALL AT the SAME TIME!
In the test drive I did, the Ipad just didn't get close to the functionality of the MyPlate.
Read the morning news over breakfast before you go to work!
Because the MyPlate can be used all day - you don't have to stop staring at a computer screen while eating and, moreover, it's dishwasher proof.
Just put the MyPlate in with your other dishes and have all the crud and dribble washed off ready to be used again for dessert and your next course of social media interactions and entertainment.
No matter what you cough or splutter over on the internet, the MyPlate can take it!
The Myplate icons open with (get this - it's cool!)...
the tap of a spoon,
the poke of a fork
or
the swish of a knife!
You can open your favorite webpage while cutting a fresh cooked sausage or lamb cutlet and it can detect whether your fork is striking on a bake bean or trying to open Google Chrome.
Even though the beta version can only be used with (stainless) steel utensils there is a prototype already for the baby version which will work with plastic eSpoons.
Parents will love this.
Breakfast will no longer seem like an ordeal where you have to create silly games like here comes the train and try to keep your baby sitting still while you feed him or her. YouTube videos like The Ninky Nonk and others will do that for you!
Check out the zoom control too!
If you run food scraps around the edge of the Myplate in a clockwise direction the zoom percentage goes up and, if you go the other way, down - unreal!
I tried it with Corn Flakes the first time, then BreakfastPop's Apple Muffin recipe. I've also tried it with popcorn and the remnants of a BigMac Large meal.
I was able to watch the YouTube cat play the piano and eat my mash potatoes and vegies at the same time - once you learn the skill of moving food around the MyPlate you'll have no problem navigating your favorite webpages.
In fact, I was able to write this hub on the MyPlate using my spoon, a stray Popcorn and of course the Qwerty keyboard!
What else can I say?
If you haven't yet tried the new Google MyPlate - Google it!
