| 875942 | 2010-04-13 04:44:00 | I believe Safari has his name down. I both don't have one and don't want one. I still say they will be a flop,in say, comparison with the ipod or iphone. But time will tell. |

| 875943 | 2010-04-14 09:38:00 | I am getting the WiFi 3G 32GB iPad c/o my son's trip to the US Mid May. Great sofa computer in addition to my 15" MacBook pro for heavy lifting. Can't wait :) |

| 875944 | 2010-04-15 01:26:00 | No way. The only thing I would get would be a Netbook, if I wanted some portable thing. Reasons? 1) Cheaper most likely 2) Not some proprietary Apple hardware, better chance of running Linux 3) Screen folds down (good for protection) 4) Actual physical keyboard 5) Standard USB ports 6) Many others I'm probably forgetting |

| 875950 | 2010-04-15 09:04:00 | Cheaper? it will be an iRipoff Linux might run on iPad but I'm sure it runs on standard netbooks far easier How does the iPad protect its screen? Do you have to carry around a special cover for it? Sure you could plug or wirelessly connect a keyboard to an iPad, but try balancing both of those on your lap or holding them both in one hand at the same time.... I hear it has USB ports by way of an adaptor... but with a netbook you don't need to get an adaptor! |
