QuoteI actually have a netbook and a wireless modem, but I haven't had it for very long and haven't taken it to the park yet, but I likely will at some point so that I can do some writing.

iv done that myself. But how much writing will you do with an ipad?

kindle has satellite internet and as far as i have used it, i can get access every where with it, even at work.

How is the browsing on it? Are you restricted on what websites you can view?

No, it uses sprints evdo. So ware ever you get phone services you get the internet on it.

Its amazing how Amazon made that deal with sprint.

Yea, I wouldn't think it would work too well, but it is what it is.

it works alright, i mean for satellite internet, and it can't play movies, and i can't go onto some sites for java or flash, possibly both. so i can't log in to AOL or my bank account, but i have gone on this website and many others, i used it for looking at craigslist at work and at a car auction

its not satellite internet. >_<

-.- you know what i mean

I found a diagram that does a pretty good job of explaining who should and who shouldn't buy an iPad:

Hrmm... I guess. I still think it's better than what people are giving it credit for.

Ipad is out. Any one have one or have anything to say now?

Nope. I don't have it. The more I read and hear about it the more interested I am in it though. I definitely won't get one any time soon, but I can see down the road a ways it being a very usefull tool. If/when it has a bit more flexibility I would prefer this over a laptop/notebook. In an article they talk about a "Third Way" to interact with data. Basically a blend between a phone such as iPhone and a computer. They say that you can't really appreciate until you actually use the iPad. There's something about the size and touch screen that makes it completely natural to use.

I would agree with this if it is the only thing those devices are used for. I don't agree because those 5 devices can be used for a vast array of other functions. It's the same with people who get computers so they can play solitaire and use a word processor.
