    Re: The Apple iPad

    I sold mine a few weeks ago, because my wife got a notebook from her work. But you know what? It's not the same at all. I miss the Ipad big time. The laptop is just too big and bulky, and surfing on there feels too much like a desktop. Web browsing, watching videos, playing games was pure bliss on the Ipad. Enjoy it!

      Re: The Apple iPad

      So what's the jury on this? We have WiFi at my house, I have an iPod which I use for music. I have the iPhone which I use as a phone. I eventually want to get a laptop so I have access to the internet, for college work and other stuff in my own room. I thought about another desktop, but I'd rather go smaller like a laptop.

      I'm hoping to spend up to $800-$900 on a laptop, so the iPad definitely fits in my price range. Would it be worth to pick one of these up over a laptop for casual web browsing?

        Yes!! I have had mine since launch and I use it everyday all day!!!! It is awesome to surf the web, listen to pod casts or youtube. I will never go back to a clunky laptop again!!!!

          hey man...everyone in this thread will tell you they are great and to get one.

          bottom line is you need to go try one out. Are you ever going to want to do any typing? A laptop would make that much easier. Use applications like Word, Excel, etc? You have to pay extra to download those onto the iPad.

          If you are ONLY going to browse the web and read the news and stuff plus want to watch movies or read e-books...iPad may be for you. If you want a portable version of your desktop computer....you probably just want a laptop. There are some great laptops out there....I could NEVER give up my laptop, it does everything you could possibly ever need it to. I don't think the iPad can say that.

            Most of my typing would probably be web surfing, a la this forum. I wouldn't say I'd do a whole lot of typing with Word and Excel. I prefer to do that with the desktop, since it has the printer and I can print right there, or use my flashdrive. I've heard about the paying extra for Word and stuff, how much is it?? If it has a reasonable price, I could understand the purchase because it wouldn't be my main use.

            I'm really thinking I should save up and just pickup a laptop, and an iPad so I have both.

            I gotta really pondering this situation like I've been doing.

                Don't worry, you're not alone. Lots of people are eating their words as this thing continues to sell.

                It's basically replacing netbooks and for some, notebooks. It has created an entirely new product genre and many manufacturers are playing catch up once again.

                More and more people will have a little slate-style tablet as they realize it's more comfortable using it to browse the web and do other things than a laptop/phone.

                I still recall people saying they'd never have full internet access on their phone because it's "just a phone."

                  Re: The Apple iPad

                  I bought the 3G version weekend before last and I cannot put this thing down. I hated on it at first too, but I love it. It's not a necessity, but I find great use for it. Devs are going to continue to push it to new heights as well. I'm new to the Apple App store (I own an Android mobile device) and I am amazed with "Words With Friends HD"! I cannot be stopped! 7-0 as we speak.

                  Safari on the iPad is BY FAR the best mobile browser out there. I'm very pleased with my purchase. I really only use my laptop when I'm working with office documents. I still prefer hardcore productivity on a laptop/desktop setup with dual monitors.

                  This thing is definitely worth it though. If your on the fence, jump over.

                  Random thought: LOL at my avatar. The season may end Week 15 at home. Let's go 'Boys!

                    It's basically replacing netbooks and for some, notebooks. It has created an entirely new product genre and many manufacturers are playing catch up once again.

                    More and more people will have a little slate-style tablet as they realize it's more comfortable using it to browse the web and do other things than a laptop/phone.

                    I still recall people saying they'd never have full internet access on their phone because it's "just a phone."
                    very true, I got the 32gb, which I'm OK with as I see people writing on the web that they even have the 16gb version and hardly put a dent in that.

                    Can't wait to get mine, I;m like a kid on Christmas. I love how there are apps for the kids, I can teach my son things on the Ipad which in book is awesome.

                          Had mine for a little over 2 months now. Got it as a birthday gift to myself...and with some money left over from my tax return. I only have the 16 gb version and I could not be happier with it. I don't store any movies or songs on it. But what makes it handy is that I can be in bed or lounging on the couch and still surf the web or read e-mails without having to go over to my desk and fire up the computer.

                          To be very honest, the IPad really is a big ipod touch in many ways, but it has much better battery life and obviously a bigger screen. I have watched a few movies and it is really amazing how something so small can give you such a crystal clear picture. And speaking of the battery life, I have noticed that with a full charge, the battery life drains about 1% for every 5-6 minutes you are using it (roughly about 10% battery usage every hour). And this is with WIFI tuned on (I only have the wifi version so can't speak for the 3G version). That amounts to about 9-10 hours of battery life.

                          The apps made specifically for the Ipad are pretty good as well. I have been hooked on scrabble. They are a bit more pricey (normal apps for the ipad run anywhere from $5 - $20) but there are some great games and productivity apps.

                            I picked up the new iPod touch. It has sold me on getting an iPad. I'll wait another generation or two but it's almost where I want it

                              Have fun with it. I was considering getting one, but my urge to get one kinda fell off, and now I'm getting a laptop.

                              Still don't rule an iPad out after another generation of it though. I'll just have to wait and see.
