Oh man.. they removed the App.. that's a bummer. I've been on the wall about getting one but if that App was still available I'd lean more towards getting it. :(

It is a great...thing, it is just not that good. You will be easily dazzled by it when you play with it but when you have 500 dollars, you can come up with something else. I rather get some more stuff for my computer

Played with one a little bit at a Best Buy yesterday.  Kind of cool and will probably end up with one at some point.  Maybe the next iteration.  One thing I noticed is it seemed a bit heavier than I thought it would be.  But, it is a pretty device.

I thought the weight seemed fine, a bit heavy when your are holding it but I figured it would be.

They should pour the contents in a glass to make you eat those words. You'll see.....  :biggrin

Now here's an app after our hearts:

LCARS Reader for the iPad

Yeah Rico posted about this a few pages back.. too bad the app was pulled for copyright infringement.

I got to play around with one of the iPads at a convention today (AIIM in Philadelphia).  It is nice, but I still prefer the versatility of a mini.

Yes, I too played with one at BestBuy.  A bit sensitive and the keyboard was like a cell phone.  You have enter "numeric mode" to get the numbers.  Tapping things on the web is tricky for small links/images.  I didn't see one - does it come with a stylus?

Facebook is really hard on the Ipad, after school I tried to check my 300+ status updates, I got to about 50-100 before I accidentally click on a link. Also someone changed it to simplified Chinese so typing was...well foreign
