Thumbs up I just got an iPad

Showed up earlier than I was expecting.

Really fast ... Nice screen brightness. ...a bit tough to hold for long periods.

edit: It won't load a backdrop . . .why won't it load my R-Gruppe backdrop?

It's gotta be somewhat believable to work.

the R-Gruppe touch was just for an extra degree of unbelievability.

I bumped the rating for you. Personally don't understand the whole thread rating thing. Seeing a thread go from 0 posts to two pages in 10 minutes will get me interested but the star ratings, eh.

Do they have a bluetooch connectivity with the iPad?

Otherwise, I can see how it would be a pain to hold that thing to your ear for long periods....

I mean who thought a tablets sized phone is a good idea anyway?!?!?

My wife was talking to her mother this morning and she (90 Y.O. MIL) mentioned that she would like one. She drives me crazy just trying to find things with her HP laptop. It would be funny if it wasn't so frustrating. Have you ever tried explaining to someone how to do something when you are on the phone, she's 1500 miles away, and her email screen disappears.

Holy Shlt, I'm in trouble now if she gets one.

I haven't even gotten there yet. ...I'm still trying to launch the dial pad.

btw, if this new "iPad" is "the futrre" will they rebrand the iPhone to the iLightDaysPad ...or just the iTampon?

...i'm so confused. --Must be 'cuz Eric is taunting me for my love of the R-gruppe.

Windows 7 is excellent. Running it on my 27" iMac at work. Fast as hell.

How is that for balance?
