Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 
I just ordered a 16gb without 3G. If it works out, I'll get the 3G later.
I ordered the case, too. It appears the case won't ship till mid-April. The iPad is supposed to ship April 3rd.
Anyone else order theirs yet?

Nope. I love myself some Apple but I am gonna wait on the pad until I see some reviews I trust.

What do you plan on using it for Scott? I am curious like a cat;)

Just for surfing and streaming and stuff, Gare. Nothing much. It'll be nice to read on and stuff, too.

I've always wanted something just like this for online text books. I'll be looking into one in the future. Wish I had the cash now but I don't.

Nope. Don't see the use of it.

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 
Once I get a job offer I will order. I'm thinking the 32gb w/o 3G model.

I'm intrigued by the iPad, but knowing Apple, I expect a price cut sometime in the summer. I look forward to user feedback.

I don't use Apple products for many reasons, but I did buy some Apple stock at $190 a share a little while ago;)

+1, I already HAVE an iPhone with 3G, and mine fits in my pocket!

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 
No flash when most sites have some sort of flash on them? What was he thinking?

junkinduck 03-13-2010 09:08 PM

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 
not untill they get flash, an SD card slot for viewing pictures and such, and enough power to rival the 300.00 net book or the all out 500.00 lap top. why pay so much for the limited use. I will keep the iPhone though, great toy but seems to want to crash back to the home page when using it heavy.
I did pick up a mess of the stock at 80.00 when the market crashed. Pretty happy with that.

colinb913 03-13-2010 09:10 PM

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 
Nope, I am getting the Archos 9 instead.. Much better reviews then the iPad. Though I do love me some apple!

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 
I don't really want one since I have an Iphone, but I must say, if you could lay one of those into a dashboard to replace all the dashboard controls of your vehicle it would be a slick deal.

Shoot, I better patten that idea...who knows how to set this up so I can take the credit??

LasciviousXXX 03-16-2010 11:45 AM

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 
As an Apple fan... I did not.

I might pick one up for my wife when they add a camera for video conferencing and offer multi-tasking. I mean seriously? No Pandora while working on something else or browsing? Short sighted IMO

Not really, it's part of the their life cycle. Can't give the consumer what they want right off the bat. They can do it already, but giving out a little feature here and there over a few years will keep the public's interest.

They do the same with cars. The same reason a the super-sportscar model doesn't come out after the first year a new model is introduced.

Apple has had people drinking the Kool Aide with a nice case and monitor for years. Proprietary? No, that is a feature. :td

shilala 03-16-2010 12:31 PM

Re: Did anyone order an iPad yet?
 
I just want this thing so I'll never have to touch a laptop again.
It's definately going to fall short, but so long as I can surf and check my email without a wobbly red hot laptop on me, I'm good.
Hopefully the next gen will address issues. I'll buy that one, too. :D

Razorhog 03-16-2010 12:43 PM

I want one that runs OS X - then I'll buy. :2

After seeing only one review of it I trust, and because I think Steve Jobs is comparable to Pol Pot...I doubt I will buy one...EVER....here is the video review I tend to side with...

Durability is very important...so they tell me...like with the lifespan of my BlackBerry...that's had 0 issues...or my Dell...which has had 0 issues that can't be resolved without just restarting my computer....

That might all change if your 'issue' is a 5 iron :r

Got an email yesterday. My iPad shipped from Shenzhen China via UPS. They didn't ship my slipcover thingie with it. Go figure, right?
When I looked yesterday, I thought it was coming from Connecticut. I tracked it awhile ago and finally realized it's coming from China. It might never get here. Grrr.

OK Scott -- you need to focus, take some deep breaths, have a cigar, relax -- you can't have withdrawals before it even arrives :D

I'm all stressed cause I won't be home this weekend. I don't think it's supposed to be here till the 3rd, though. I can see why now. :)

But then again, I really don't like virtual keyboards.

My macbook pro shipped from china and arrived to west coast US in less than 3 days. It shipped Fed Ex though.

My pad is still in China. It only took two days for the billing info to go through.
It's killing me.

Usually I'll try to point out the errors and things these leave out.... but for now I will just say, you can use USB on it and it does have a headphone jack


edit: and Scott, I don't think pre-ordered ones come in until the 3rd from what I read

Scott, I can tell by the way you typed your message that you have the shakes pretty bad... You really need to do something about those withdrawal symptoms :)
