I have heard of this but not experienced it. Mine never drops. Its speed is awesome. If you have a MAC, try try "StreamToMe"

I swear, if Apple said they invented a new device call "the wheel" that the fanboys would gush on about how this new 'wheel" idea will change the world. :rolleyes:

Again, tablets have been around for a long time. This iPad version is, in typical Apple launch style, a feature-barren version of a tablet. --nothing really new brought to the table ...tablet.

If you like the iPad, you'll love this; the Apple "i"

I would be interested in this "wheel" thing. Do you have a link?

Thanks,
Tom

A couple of points:
1. It's nearly impossible to hold on your lap (sitting on the couch) and type on it like a normal computer.
2. Laying flat on a desk is annoying to the wrists. If it's not comfy to type on I won't use it.
3. It's much easier to type on (fat fingers) then the Iphone/touch.
4. The ram prices are scary. Seriously Apple?
5. If they sold the display holder ( just cheap acyrillic plastic) I'd buy it. The other holder's are poor replacements.

All in all, I liked it. I have a need for it, but I will not be buying one. At the end a sub $400 labtop kicks its butt anyday.

Carry on.SmileWavy

You know acrylic can be bent like sheet metal in a break right? If you get one send me some measurements and I can fix ya up... Won't be quite as fancy as theirs but....

This is really some kind of obsession that you have with apple and the people who buy their products.

I might suggest counseling, but I have a feeling that your catharsis is this thread, so by all means, carry on!SmileWavy
