well....i got a ipad :P

[starwolf1336]

My cousin got me one for graduation, didnt even ask for one. I was going to buy a netbook, but this will do. Only downside i see is that it wont do flash sites. Other than that i love it.

Btw, pandora is my favorite app XD

The iPad is a sweet device. If I didn't already own a good notebook and iPod Touch I might consider it. In my case it would be a vestige. You'll love it.

If you had a netbook, I would ask for a comparison review.....still, can't beat a free gift gadget! A couple weeks in, I'd be curious to see what you think of it.

I have an iPod Touch - but i think that if i had an iPad, i would only read e-books off-of it

That picture looks like your holding a printed paper with a picture of an iPad on it.

If they were not pricey I'd get one. Though I'm still in love with the Zune HD's.

i also use ibooks. There are alot of free books you can download. Its awesome for reading in bed at night. No need to worry about enough light to read

I read quite a bit in bed as well, but with a small clip on light on my headboard and my kindle..i have been reading for over 6 weeks now and my battery still has 40% charge.

Sorry SW, but the expression on your face is priceless - I couldn't help myself

iPad is ok I guess, but a PC is much better in my opinion. The iPad does look a little tacky in my perspective as well. =P

But if I did get one I would probably like it.

Hi all
I see some use this for reading in Bed with.

This wouldn't be any good for me -- as when I'm away from home I often FALL ASLEEP in a hotel bed with the book falling to the floor -- I'm not sure that an Ipad would like that treatement.

Also what happens if you fall asleep and roll over your Ipad - even if it doesn't fall to the ground.

I'm afraid I've never been a fan of e-books but of course YMMV. In any case with the "Green" brigade now in full flow re-cycling paper seems a better bet than creating a lot of e-books to use on Ipads etc -- also when you've finished with your conventional book you can give it away to say a Hospital or community centre for other people to enjoy.

I'd be interested in a decent TABLET writing device about the size of the IPAD with the orientation exactly like you would WRITE on paper but it would need to be able to interface with apps like MS OFFICE and EXCEL - especially for importing data into spread sheets and databases DYNAMICALLY from the web and have a decent E-MAIL application built in.

The Ipad looks nice but seems a bit limited in what you can really do with it -- is it a BIG Smart Phone or a hobbled laptop / netbook.

Cheers
jimbo

Yeah, but it's more like, "The Lithium was OK, but this new stuff...!"

LOL @ Eyeball.

I have to check out the 'Pad. I prefer laptops though. You can do more.
