| Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it has a USB port for like a zip drive would be like the MacBook air I think and you could email yourself documents etc but does have pages and numbers which is like windows office on a mac. They did put in a system so you can input all your pictures directly from a memory card or the camera! I don't think the idea is to be a mini lap top. I think the idea is more for quick use, and they just made a really jazzed up version of a kimble since apple didn't have anything competing in that market! I'm sure it will get better and better with the new versions that come out! I have a wifi access card so I don't need the 3G version...excited to get it! Mac is seriously some of the easiest stuff I've ever used! My MacBook pro is like the bentley of computers and didn't take hours of tutorials to figure out! Tons of common sense! They are the best computers (don't yell at me if you are a PC person...it's my opinion only and I'm not going to change that opinion so don't even bother trying! LOL!) it's amazing technology! |

| Don't think you can print from it either! If you have a MacBook or any regular laptop or PC you wouldn't need to! You can go to apple.com and get a full tour of how everything works and the different features it has! Warning: it will make you want one asap!! The price point is super attractive too...like $500 (or round about for the non 3G version...$800 for the 3G version but if you have a wifi card you don't need the 3G.) |

From what I've seen, I think most of us here agree with you My husband has been a Mac user since he was a teenager (he's 28 now) and almost bought stock in them back in 2004 before we met... but he didn't. LOL. He has a macbook pro and I have a regular macbook. He even worked at the Apple store for awhile.

| I am a total Apple product freak-- but this iPad just seems pretty useless to me.... I've got my iPhone (which is pretty much the SAME as the ipad, but in a smaller package) and my Macbook Pro and my 80GB ipod. Why on EARTH would I need an "iPad?" (which, I also think is a dumb name by the way... it reminds me of a maxipad or something, lmao!) Eh, I dunno, just seems like a pretty useless product to me. I'm sure they'll get better each new version that comes out but for now...no thanks!

I will say that there is one thing I LOVE LOVE LOVE about the ipod touch. That app thingy where you shake it and it gives you restaurants to choose from. I find the noise it makes so funny and I play with it for hours. I swear I'm a two year old stuck in the body of a 24 year old, I'm so easily amused. Unfortunately my love for the app isn't enough of a reason for me to fork over money for an ipod touch. Especially when playing with boyfriend's is free. I do find the Ipad interesting though. It makes those book reader thingys obsolete, and it really is like a giant ipod touch right? I just wish they would have given it a different name. Ipad makes me think of sanitary pads.

| Definitely excited about the ipad! We have Mac's in the house as well and love them. I preordered the ipad, but have not gotten it yet as I ordered the wifi-3G, which is not out yet. I heard that they might have issues with the wifi connection not being able to tolerate long-distance connections, (when you are out of range) and I needed mine to be able to connect via the cellular network while I am traveling. Soooooooo.........I sit here and wait patiently while everyone else has thiers.... Last edited by lil fu fu girl; 04-09-2010 at 05:18 AM. |

| From what I've been told "The Nook" from Barnes & Nobles is better! I'm thinking about getting a kindle. I'd have to really see what the iPad could do over the Kindle or Nook before I bought it.

This is pretty much what I had heard. Underwhelmed I think it was and that is from a hardcore Mac person. Love Macs here, but doesn't sound worth it.

| Which is EXACTLY why I'm getting an iPad. I don't know about you but it drives me freakin' crazy to read a web site with small print on the iphone. Of course you can expand it, but then you have to scroll back and forth, up and down, etc. I do love my iphone, wouldn't trade it for anything, but am looking forward to being able to be on the web and not have to read such tiny print! So, to each his own, I can't imagine why on EARTH you WOULDN'T want an iPad!
