The Apple iPad

Re: The Apple iPad

They have an Otterbox for the iPad? Is it a behemoth?

I imagine it is, which is kinda why I want it. I want a case that will take some abuse if needed, especially if this iPad is going to replace my laptop for meetings and school notes and such.

Re: The Apple iPad

If this will be a laptop replacement, then I definitely see why you need the protection. I'd like to see what it looks like.

Re: The Apple iPad

64 pages is a bit much to read through, can anyone tell me - is this any fun to play board games/2 player games on?

I almost got one for my wife for Christmas, but the price tag is too much right now - and I don't really think she needs one (as much as she wants one)... I think it's more of a novelty. I also held off because I believe the iPad 3 will probably come out within the next year, so I figure that's something worth just waiting for. When that comes out, I'll probably consider it more carefully.

But I'm curious how the 'lay down and play a board game' works. Are there enough games, does it feel natural, is it fun? I could see us buying games for it to play, and not have to worry about setting up or put away games... Seems like it could be fun, so I thought I'd see if anyone else uses it like this and if it's fun or just something that wears off and you're better off sticking to the real thing.

Re: The Apple iPad

There are tons of games in the app store in every category. Pretty much every board game from the 70s, 80s and 90s is on the Ipad.

Scrabble
Monopoly
The Game of Life
Battleship
Risk
Clue
Trivial Pursuit
Jenga
Yahtzee
Boggle
Chess
Checkers
Connect 4
Tic Tac Toe
Straego
Backgammon
Chutes and Ladders
Mahjong
Domino
Bingo
Sudoku

Literally thousands of games.

Re: The Apple iPad

But are they fun to play, and designed well enough to work without getting in the way? That's my main question.

Re: The Apple iPad

Heck yeah, they are fun to play. They play exactly like the originals for the most part. You can play against randoms or against your friends. I really like playing Scrabble. That's my favorite.

I saw that you can use your iTouch as a letter holder for that, too. Thought that looked pretty cool.

My only concern is things getting in the way of say player-player interaction, and bugs. Like in Monopoly, making trades with other players seems like it could get tricky, since it has to be programmed in as opposed to players just being able to make their minds up and physically trade things around.

Re: The Apple iPad

Yeah, I see what you're talking about in Monopoly. I haven't played that one yet. I'd imagine that could get tricky as well.

Re: The Apple iPad

As expected my girl absolutely loves the iPad 2

What kind of protective screen cover would you guys recommend?

[fishepa]

I don't have a screen protector on our original iPad.

Re: The Apple iPad

You really don't need one. As long as your smart about it, it won't scratch.

Re: The Apple iPad

Went ahead and picked one up at the Verizon store for her. She likes it and due to her using the iPad 2 for tutoring small kids we felt it was necessary.
