anyone getting an IPad?

[TheSaint]

Im intrigued. Not an IPhone user but this looks like it could be great. How is the safari browser?

[PanthersFanNY]

I don't get it.

Isn't it just an over-sized iphone that can't fit in your pocket with less capabilities that costs $500?

[Davidson Deac II]

Don't see what point it would serve to buy one. Just a new toy that does things I can already do or don't really need to do.

Just another toy thats a bigger version of the Iphone.....and you can't even hook it up to a printer! A big :frown2:

Another pointless device in the era of pointless devices.

From the greatest movie in the history of cinema.

Chris Knight: You didn't touch anything, did you?

Mitch: No.

Chris Knight: Good. Because all of my filth is arranged in alphabetical order. This, for instance, is under 'H' for "toy."

Mitch: What is it?

Chris Knight: It's a penis stretcher. Do you want to try it?

Mitch: No!

Chris Knight: I'm just kidding. It's yet another in a long series of diversions in an attempt to avoid responsibility.

Never buy 1st Gen hardware.

It's supposed to be better than the Kindle at books.

At home I use my iPod Touch to look at a few sites and maybe play a game before bed - it's a hell of a lot easier to manage in bed than a laptop.

I could see using it was a book reader, for YouTube, stuff like that around the house, but not for carrying around with me unless I was flying off on a weekend trip or something.

Just went to the Apple store to check it out. (D-Will was there BTW). But the Ipad is kind of heavy. It really wouldn't be comfortable to use as an e-reader.

no heavier than a book IMO.

I just got back from the mall (ugh) too. Managed to get my hands on the thing for a bit. Its pretty cool. Definitely not a necessity. I think it would be great to travel with, and sit around the house to surf. I get sick of the hot laptop on my lap. Plus my laptop is a work computer. Not having a camera, or not being able to print isnt a big deal to me. Im not sure how not having flash would be. I dont take a computer with me when im on personal travel because they weigh too much and like i said its a work computer.

I might get one at some point. Waiting on gen II might be the best thing to do.

Surfing on it now on this forum. I bought the 32gb version. It is just an enlarged iPod touch but I was in the market for an iPod touch so this worked out better. Definitely not a laptop replacement but certainly displaces a net book.

I assume the keyboard is on the screen same as an Iphone or Ipod touch? The concept seems cool, but I don't think I would like it more than a netbook.

Yes it is but due to the screen size it just feels smoother
