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!

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

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

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.

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

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
