You know there is somthing else that matches the ipad. the ds XL.

I was thinking an iPhone, or an actual paperback book, but that works too.

That doesn't look like it matches at all...

Wait, neither one of those match the iPad in both size and functionality. They might match it on one of the two but not both.

I did not mean the dsxl is a replacement for the ipad. :P

iPad is now a hit with animals as well!

Some school in minnesota dropped a large sum on cash to outfit all the students with Ipads instead of textbooks. Biggest mistake ever. That shit will break and get stolen.

My mom received an Ipad as her anniversary gift. I've used it a bit. Let me confirm what I said earlier. You really can NOT appreciate it until you use it. Everything about how you use it is better than either an iPhone or a laptop. Yes, the functionality is similar (if not exactly the same as an iPhone or Touch) and yes it does not have as many features as a full blown laptop. But, it is far more useful than either. It is much more portable than a laptop in that it is smaller (even smaller than my notebook which is pretty small) and you don't open it up and type on a keyboard or use a mouse. Not only is it smaller than a notebook, but the screen is larger.

And it is more usefull than the iPhone in that it is larger. I would not sit and watch a movie or read a book on the iPhone. Browsing the web is much easier than on the iPhone because the screen is so much bigger. Using the maps feature is really nice. The touch screen technology is actually better and smoother. The on-screen keyboard is far superior almost to the extent of being exactly like a real keyboard (except obviously the keys are flat and not separate, but in accuracy it is very good).

So you basically have the best of both worlds. It is not quite as portable as a phone, but you can very easily carry it along with you in a small case. Especially if you would have been lugging a laptop otherwise such as for work or personal use, this is definitely better. And given the benefit of how much easier it is to use, the downside of its slightly larger size is outweighed.

Now, give me this device with a bit more freedom over what I can put on it and what carrier I can use and it's perfect.

I would expect that like any Ipod touch/Iphone you can jailbreak it to at least be able to put on it whatever you wish to. Carrier is another matter.

Did cavemen think the wheel would change mobility for the future?

Ill clear it up by adding a "it will".
Do you think it will be a game changer that will change the face of the computing world?

[Seifer]

I say no. It's a mac. Because it's a mac it is extremely limited in what it can do. Limits=/=future.

@Seifer
What do you think a game changer would be? (like point to a past thing that you think was a game changer) Game changers seems to mean diffrent things to people. I just want to have an idea what you think it means.

[Scotty]

The Jetsons.

I'm not even kidding.

[ARTgames]

What about The Jetsons?
