Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

I am thinking on it. I have had an iPhone for 8 months now and love it.

The thought of a touch screen that is big enough to read is intrigueing. Won't get the 3G version. I had been planning on buying an amzon kindle anyhow, this is better and there is a kindle app free in the itunes store.

I would wait until they have had time to work through any issues, the next generation maybe? It is too new, you know they always go back and work out the bugs after the first addition. Well, that's just me, you can obviously do whatever you please! lol!

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

I will get one eventually! The Kindle thing, plus the ability to surf to web thru wi-fi will be useful.

if my Logos ran on it that would be awesome

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

I agree that it is too soon. Until a few of these things are addressed, I'm not interested:

Id just be happy to get an Ipod or Iphone, though I would not pay for the account, to expensive.

But I am around a wireless router with access often and Id love to be able to use a small device to go on the net rather than carry my laptop around, especially at dialysis.

And Logos Library ports to the Iphone

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

I have the Logos for iPhone app... don't like it. I have the same reason as you for wanting the iPad, i am almost always in reach of a wireless network, and the iPhone, while great, is too small for most stuff except brief email reads and brief responses. And lugging a laptop around is too inconvenient.

things like browsing AFF aren't all that enjoyable on it.

The limitations mentioned in the article OTF mentioned are concerns, but not show stoppers for me.

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

Will never get one. For the same amount of money a nice (better then bare bones) Netbook is FAR more useful to me.

what don't u like about the Logos app?

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

Netbooks are nice, but they are low on power. If they are strictly for surfing the net they are good. They will do a lot of other things too, but slowly.

I have wanted to get one for a while now but I realized that due to the computing limitations I'd probably just get frustrated

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

The one in the link comes with a rare duel core atom processor and 2 gigs, and 250 gig hard drive AND a "better then poor" nvidia graphics chip. In the reviews, users have been using Adobe Photoshop CS4 on it with no problems.

I requested a while back that admin add an iphone stylesheet so that the browsing experience of the forum on the iphone would be awesomeness. They already exist out there for vbulletin, and it should just be a simple implementation to detect iphone users.

Hoping it is still being considered... :D

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

Ok, but isn't that gonna be more power consumption? The whole point of having a netbook is being truely mobile (having a high battery life)

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

Though it's not as if even the iphone has anything resembling good battery life. But I guess the ipad will have more room for a battery.

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

After reading the article, I believe I'll wait until it has Multi-tasking, Adobe Flash, a camera, and handwriting recognition.

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

what is the battery life like on an Iphone?

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

Well, I use mine a lot. Probably obsessively. Mostly data. But, if I didn't have it charging in the car and plugged into my laptop while I'm working, it would be dead each day by 2pm. And you can't swap out batteries.

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

You bet, I will be in line waiting. I can't wait to preach from it!

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

Phone only about a day, but using video, internet or other data and it won't last long, that is the only drawback.

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

I bought an asus eepc last March, ended up not liking it so much and gave it to my daughter.

Too awkward. I use AcroBible.

Not so impressive. I bought a couple of extra usb cables so I can plug it in at work, home and car.

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

Ha ha, hadn't even thought of that. Have used the iPhone a couple of times!

Re: Apple iPad... anyone here going there?
 

I didn't think of that! Excellent use of new technology! :thumbsup
