Re: The Apple iPad

Jonesy, it's not really either one. When I use it I feel like i'm using a computer, not an iPod megatouch. But yet it's also not completely a computer. It's like the best of both worlds really! The best thing about it though is the crazy battery life. it's great not always worrying about the charge running out like you do on laptops.

Re: The Apple iPad

This is my first apple device, I was with AT&T to get the iPhone but, I was given the run around about a bill. Since the service was already spotty, I left and went to verizon. Great device, but no iPhone .

Long story short, I really like the idea that apple has put behind in the creation of it's products. They seem far more safer and easier to use than pc devices. Sure some things are missing, but for the most part there is an app that is SAFE to use in replacement.

I wish verizon would stop playing games and go ahead and get apple to make them a company specific "iPhone".

Actually I read the iPhone could debut on Verizon as early as September.

I work at VZW and I can assure you I have no inside information but I'm hopeful that by fall we will have something. For me personally I just want at least iPad support, that would be awesome!

Re: The Apple iPad

I'll think I'll hold off on the iPad so that I can get one of these:

Absolutely loving my Ipad. Traded in my MacBook and haven't looked back. Web browsing is pure bliss.

I'm really wanting one of these, but I want something to REPLACE my laptop, and I just don't think this can do that... especially without a way to sync up my ipod and iphone.

Ugh.

Why would you do that? iPad is pretty irrelevant w/o a computer to sync it with. You must have a PC or something to back it up?

Dickdalewood - you don't have a desktop PC?

Just a laptop... haven't owned a desktop in years. I suppose I could throw this thing into the computer room that I never use though, lol, and only use it when I need it.

I dunno, I may end up just getting a macbook.

More and more people are being split in two ways - if you only have a laptop, then this won't replace it. But if you have a desktop or use your laptop as a desktop and only need some web-browsing here and there... email...

A few said this would happen previously. Imagine that.

Is your laptop old? If you only have ONE system, the iPad won't be (and shouldn't be) it right now.

It's a convenience device, much like a laptop used to be viewed. But with specs competing with desktops, if you are only going to have ONE system go with the Macbook.
