You managed to cram almost every anti-iPad cliché into one brief post.Can't wait to hear from all the Fanboys on how much they overpaid for the latest overhyped Apple device. Do they need it? Probably not, but Steve Jobs told them they did so they have to get it.And besides, isn't it just an extra large IPhone?
Sometimes I amaze even myself. I have a brother I have to listen to every day about how great Apple is and how everything else sucks, so clearly I'm biased against it because I'm tired of constantly hearing it. However, I actually DO believe Apple makes great products (for the most part) but my beef with them is that they are WAY overpriced. I've been resisting getting an IPhone (even though I want one) because I refuse to pay the $300 or $400 dollars for the device and the extra $30 monthly charge for the data plan. Seems like highway robbery to me. But I really, really want an IPhone.You managed to cram almost every anti-iPad cliché into one brief post.Can't wait to hear from all the Fanboys on how much they overpaid for the latest overhyped Apple device.

umm as of about 6 months ago when I got the 3gs iPhone the 3g was available for $100. 3gs was $200Sometimes I amaze even myself.

I'm currently looking at my upgrade options for my current phone w/AT&T and it says $399 for the 3GS 16gb. Even if it was $200 I'd still have to swallow the extra $30 for the DataPlan - that's $15 more than the same plan with my Samsung Eternity.umm as of about 6 months ago when I got the 3gs iPhone the 3g was available for $100. 3gs was $200Sometimes I amaze even myself.

Doesn't "Fanboy" really mean "geek"? Since Fanboys are the only ones that buy Apple products I'd say that by NOT having an Apple product I'm already cool.See how my twisted logic works?Do you want to be cool or not?
haterI just wish they'd stop using the word "magical" in their marketing. Sounds completely stupid.
I actually love my Apple stuff. I have a MacBook Pro and a Touch, Mrs CE has a Nano. Never any complaints. I just think calling a piece of equipment "magical" is dumb.haterI just wish they'd stop using the word "magical" in their marketing. Sounds completely stupid.
You like it GB?Finally got around to getting an iphone yesterday. Holy crap.
Perhaps the iphone is worth 15 dollars more a month compared to your eternity?I'm currently looking at my upgrade options for my current phone w/AT&T and it says $399 for the 3GS 16gb.

LOL, sounds like how I spent twice as much on the Video iPod then what it actually cost. Apple now has another one-touch source of revenue from apps, books, music, movies, etc... I'd be really curious what some people's monthly Apple bill comes to.I want a tablet, so I'm excited to hear about this and what competitors keep coming up with.
In what way? What are you doing with it?Got my iPad this AM at around 915. Been playing with it for about an hour or so. Yes, this is amazing. More to come.

It's quite a bit smaller than a piece of paper. The looks are deceiving because you haven't seen one with a penny in the picture.Dumb question but...how do you hold it? Lay it in your lap? Lay it flat on a table? Seems too big to hold in one hand and touch the screen with the other.
I have done both of the above when typing. I also propped it up on my legs when I was lying down. Fastest way to type is with it laying on a flat surface. About as fast as i can type on a regular keyboard. It corrects a lot of your typos but sometimes does get the correction wrong. This is similar to the iPhone so if you are used to that, this is easier to do. If you are new to the autocorrect feature it may slow you down until you get used to itDumb question but...how do you hold it? Lay it in your lap? Lay it flat on a table?

I did not get the 3G but my understanding is that the 3G is a separate fee. You do not need a contract and you can turn it on and off via the iPad.So, if you're not using WiFi but want to use the 3G service, you have to pay for that service with a monthly fee or it's included?

Can you print out the specs for me?Posting from iPad. I guarantee this device will be huge.
iTunes can run in the background. I don't think pandora will.I hear people yelling about no multitasking but not sure we're talking the same thing.Can you listen to your music in itunes while you surf the web?Can you write email while listening to Pandora.com?J

I know what you are asking but it does not really have tabbed browsing. You can open multiple pages, but they are not really open at the same time.ETA This is the same as the iPhone. If you can do it on the iPhone you can do it here.Thanks.

Technically, I don't think so. I can open multiple pages. But each page opens separately. There is a button I can push to see all open pages and move to a different page.

Thanks. And am I understanding right that safari is the only browser option? You cant use chrome or firefox?That by itself is a limiting but listening to pandora while I work is almost a necessity.

No, no tabs. It will open multiple pages at once, but they're not really all active at the same time.However, it IS possible for sites to setup streaming online so that you can stream music in the Safari browser, close the browser, and keep listening to the music while using another app. But the site has to basically setup the site specifically to cater to that. Not sure if Pandora has a version for the iPad that will do that or not.
