Anyone getting an iPad?

Anyone getting one? I know of a youth pastor in the area that bough one and is using it for his sermons instead of physical notes. Pretty cool use.

I am going to head down to Best Buy to play with one, but no flash and no multi-tasking seems to knock it down a few notches to me. HP will be releasing a table later this year that will include both features, along with some other extras.

Re: Anyone getting an iPad?

I am not a big Apple fan but mostly because the products are so expensive. No doubt an Apple computer is much better for music and video production but when looking at desktops for example the Apple cost twice as much.

Maybe down the road I will get an ipad but definitely not these first ones out. If I got one I would want the version coming out in a few weeks or months that has 3G capability. The one just out only has wifi.

Besides as you mentioned probably HP or Dell will have one for less money before long.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Why not just get a $300 dollar netbook? It has a keyboard too

I already have an Acer Aspire One. It has been a trooper.
I am not going to get an iPad, mainly because I prefer something I can throw Ubuntu on. It would be nice, however, if the market drove down the table prices like it did the netbook prices. I will probably get a tablet when the prices get close to netbook prices. It would be handy to have around the house for the wife.

Waiting.

No USB ports, no flash, no multi-tasking. Proprietary Apple/Mac files.

Not paying hundreds of bucks on a modified Kindle.

Re: Anyone getting an iPad?

Maybe. Played with one for awhile in the Apple store yesterday while waiting at the genius bar for my 3rd iPhone. both of the other two failed under warranty conditions in less than 10 months which is making me have doubts as to apple's quality control.

I like it, if I do get one I'll wait until 3g is available. HOWEVER, I am also thinking about waiting for the HP Slate. Might be more my speed and will be aroung the same price. No word though on whether or not it will have a 3g modem though.

Re: Anyone getting an iPad?

I did think of getting one for my daughter who is starting college this fall, the iBook application is cool, but of course, the text book publishers aren't getting on board with that, Why make it simple for a kid to carry around on light little device when you can make them pay thousands of dollars and carry around heavy books.
