Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 

I'm not buying any more ipads for at least a couple months, if that helps. ;)

Do you have an iPhone too Scott?

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 

Got to see one last night in person.
Neat toy.

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 

I've paid for four in the last six months. I'm thinking I should get a cut. :)

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 

My buddy was playing with this one today, and all he could really muster was a "wow." He's a hardcore tech fanboi, and I was pretty set back that he was so impressed. He thinks my iphone is the second coming, so I suppose I shouldn't have been too surprised. :)

So this might sound weird, and no offense to you old guys ;s :), but what do you all think my grandfather would think of one of these?

He has a WebTV and uses it a lot but I'm wondering how much he really gets out it. Every time I am visit and have my laptop he asks where he can get one. I think a full blown laptop could be too much for him to deal with...but for light web browsing and looking at pictures this might be perfect for him. Thoughts?

Gather one up and drop it in his lap, Andrew. If he likes it, let him keep it. If not, you'll find someone who can use it.
My dexterity is crap, but my eyesight is good. It's still easy for me to use.
He'd have to have internet access and a wireless router to serve the ipad. I didn't even know web tv still existed, but a dialup connection wont get it. It needs broadband. If web tv is broadband now, just ignore the last part. :)

We got two at work to test app development on.

Not impressed. Once they add USB, SDcard, and some flash capabilities it'll be mucho mejor.

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 

Yea that's what I should do. If he doesn't like it I will keep it. :D

He would have no problem getting high speed hooked up and I'll grab a linksys off craigslist. They already have cable TV and pay something like $20 a month for the WebTv.

Played with one at the college bookstore the other day while I was buying texts. Honestly, I couldn't get over the incredible amount of glare off of the screen. Absolutely useless without a matte screen. Gloss was a horrid choice for this device. Other than that it behaves like you would expect.

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 

I've been a Mac user since 1986. I have a 30GB Ipod Classic (the one with video). I generally love everything Apple sales but...

When I decided to get a smartphone I looked at the Iphones and decided to buy a Blackberry. For one thing I find most of the apps pretty much unnecessary in my daily life and I really don't want to be told "you have to use AT&T."

As for the Ipad, I really can't see spending the money for one in its currentl configuration. It's nothing more than a bigger version of the Ipod Touch. Now if it ran OSX, had a camera, built in microphone, etc., then I would consider it but until then I'll use my Macbook Pro or my G5 to do my computing.

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 

I bought one on Monday. Like it and haven't had any issues with it. I might consider returning it for the 3G, but probably will keep it. I can use it for various work functions as well as for my personal entertainment, so it is worth the expense IMHO. Reading books and PDFs are what I would use it mostly, but the checking emails is nice too.

Funny thing yesterday: one of my brokers came to take me to lunch and was ready to give me an extra IPad he bought as a thanks for all of the business. I had to decline, more since I already bought my own, but allowed him to give it to my assistant. She was more than thrilled!!! Hopefully she won't ask for a raise this year.

Nice, Tony! Not a bad gift at all

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 

Yeah, but will it blend?

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 

I want that blender. That thing is exceptionally badass.

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 

Wow, it doesn't have USB support :(

I hate Apple.

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 

:r

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 

Oh but there are adapters you can buy to get 1 USB port :r

The most useful thing I found this device capable of, it can't do due to lack of an SD slot.

Photo preview for professional photographers AT events.

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 

sigh, yes it does.


Jordan, could show @ events with this

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 

RAW support?

I shoot compact flash anyway, but my next body will migrate me to SD.

Either way, it's a stupid solution. Glad it was at least an afterthought. Can always hope for the next revision.
