iPad...
Yeah.. I caved and got the 32gb version. I gotta say typing on it is a lot more intuitive then I thought it would be. In fact it's a lot like a real keyboard.. Well once you get used to it. I really really like it. I would like it more if I could open tabs in safari though. Oh well. Hopefully in a firmwaRe update soon. Oh, I am just posting this to get a feel for the whole thing. I love the Internet, and that's about all I have to say here.

Re: iPad...
My wife absolutely loves hers. I bet she uses it 20 times more than she used her computer.

Re: iPad...
really think it could have been a replacement for a pc, nut with no flash support and still requiring itunes.... Makes it tough for me to justify ...still jealous though

Re: iPad...
My wife digs hers as well.
Flash support can be obtained through jailbreaking if you're really hell bent on it. The Netflix and ABC streaming is absolutely tops though! |

Re: iPad...
I'm not too he'll bent on flash. You don't realllllllly need iTunes. It's just nicer to have it
Side note.. My mom went garage saleing and got some empty cigar boxes for me... Sadly one was a glass top cohiba box. I just laughed and said thanks. It is pretty cool looking though

Re: iPad...
Bought one last week and loving it (typing on it now). Went ahead and Jailbroke it so I can multitask, have my own themes, and basically do what I wanna. Love it more then I thought I would.

There is one in general. I go there sometimes when looking for answers.

Bought the 32G. Absolutely love it. It's like another laptop, a Kindle, a protable DVD player, and more all rolled into one. Between my wife and daughter, the thing rarely gets turned off.

Re: iPad...
ignore my previous comment altogether, I finally got a chance to play with one at a best buy and was flat out BLOWN away by its sheer speed. I instantly began to justify buying one right then and there but still couldn't pull the trigger. I will hold out for the 2nd gen. as I got royally screwed getting the 1st gen ipod touch (no speaker or exterior volume control). Anyway, I will def. be getting this as the next laptop and will keep a laptop around as its sidekick and for itunes. Also on a side note, after using my iphone 3gs for a week or so, I honestly haven't run into the flash video issue enough to induce anger whatsoever, at least not nearly as much as I thought it would. Most videos I didn't think would play go right into quicktime, which I imagine would do the same on the ipad.
