for me it is like this:
I went by the store and came away with less than favorable impressions. No USB, can't use as hard drive unless unlocked, only content from Itunes, 3G through ATT which sucks the life out of my Iphone - can only imagine the Ipad, expensive as hell for a 64g version and a host of other little items. Frankly for my money the Ibook is TONS better and only $100 or so dollars off. This to me is an over inflated Ipod, which I expected, but at an unreasonable cost and locked to ATT whose 3g network simply sucks.
I'm fine with my Imac but the rest of their toys will need to be for others....at least until the price and features is reasonable.
although this application my be snazzy http://jalopnik.com/5509766/worlds-first-ipad-in-car (http://jalopnik.com/5509766/worlds-first-ipad-in-car)
cheaper than the stuff you buy at car toys right?
I have no thoughts... what new Apple product? Ahhhh, life can be so simple if you let it. ;D
Parry Gripp had it pegged. iPad is just another flavor of personal electronics nachos: the concept is appealing, yet essentially worthless dreck.

I heard it through the g-vine that the svoloch couldn't bear to be one-upped by a co-worker so he had to go get one at lunch today. [laugh]
I hope he got the version with wings on it [evil]

When are people going to stop giving Steve Jobs their bank accounts? Next up for SJ is prolly a techno/music/personal computer/interaction full blown House and Senate-approved overhaul bill !! All the while seeking federal funding!!
the Ipad will fail - that's my prediction. [coffee]

Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook
I just picked one of these up and converted it to a hackintosh for less than $225. (http://gizmodo.com/5389166/how-to-hackintosh-a-dell-mini-10v-into-the-ultimate-snow-leopard-netbook (http://gizmodo.com/5389166/how-to-hackintosh-a-dell-mini-10v-into-the-ultimate-snow-leopard-netbook)) I love OSX, but don't like the price or Apples locked-down approach to all of their products.
we must talk. ;)
i was drooling a little over the Dell Adamo (http://www.adamobydell.com/) at best buy the other day. pretty slick looking machine, if a little $$$
WiWa way to go! As for me, not so much a Dell supporter as an Apple hater. Good move.
I admit it. after purchasing three apple products I'm starting not to like them. I'm sick of the chains, much like the same feeling I got with Windows Vista. Watch, my wife will beg and plead to get a maxi pad and after I send her to Walgreens I'll get divorced. [bang]

Perish the thought. [bacon]
Absolutely love it. The battery life is truly 9-10 hours, performance is SNAPPY, the touch screen is awesome, and so far the app designs coming out are inspired... Could not be happier. Need to re-jailbreak the iPhone for MiWi, so I can use it more at the office ( stupid bank does not allow wifi and non bank device net access )

Evidently a senior contributor for Macworld isn't that impressed.

that price though. wish I got a refund like Slovoch [bang]
I learned that if someone jailbreaks their Iphone they can install a WIFI app and tell Steve to shove his $130 premium for 3G service with shitTT (AKA ATT). Now, who here is a wiz to jailbreak my phone and wife's so I can buy her an Ipad (so wrong) for our anniversary?
I'm no Apple Genius, don't even own an iPhone (gave one to my wife for Xmas, but I haven't even looked at it); but it shouldn't take much looking to find a hacker forum with a step-by-step jailbreak tutorial. Last time I looked, they were all over the place. If I owned one, that'd be he first thing I'd do with it. [evil]
Why hack an iPhone? Sell it and buy something you can use. Or is it like putting Desmo stickers on a Honda just to have a status symbol. [roll]

You do look good on it. 8)
Even if you jailbreak it, which is the first thing you should do, you will have to use ATTM if you want 3G.

can you elaborate with ATTM?
AT&T Mobility.
Sorry, I am in work mode and they get upset if we leave off the 'M'.
I want. have program you can pm me?
One of us is confused.
If you want an Iphone /Ipad to use a 3G service in the US it has to be AT&T. T-Mobile uses a different band for 3G, EDGE will work but is slow. Verizon and Sprint are CDMA so will not work.
ah, now I'm on track. so no known cracks for 3gs 3.1.3 yet then?
