Yes, WOT:yh_rotfl



Tell us about it. I'd love to have one. I'm looking for something light that I can hook up quickly and don't have to have pounds of luggage with me when I travel. Geez, when I bring my Dell laptop with me, I put it in a computer bag and it weighs a ton:thinking:



My niece a wee apple notebook....it's as light as a feather and has lots of functions.

Bought one for wife this afternoon---------Wow---after a learning curve of four hours I have to say that this is one hell of device. Boots up almost instantly and is ready to go as opposed to several minutes on the PC or Laptop. This I Pad is a real threat to the Laptop and Mini business in my opinion as it will more than satisfy the needs of not all, but many laptop users including myself. With the 3 G capability and Wi Fi you can use it just about anywhere and the 3 G monthly charge is only $14 a month.

Got one at work when they first came out, for all the managers to see and try out. Then I gave it to the manager that was most excited by it. He loves it and is able to remote into all the workstations(pcs and macs) that he needs to use late on fridays.... now he's not driving over.

Only negative I can recall is that it doesnt like flash.

No Apple product uses flash they have been at odds about it since the IPHONE came out. I have been remoting in from my IPHONE to all my servers at work since I got it over a year ago. I can also logon the their PC with Citrix on the IPHONE. I will admit the IPAD size interest me just would be easier to see if it is light weight I might give it a look. When traveling weight and size matter so far my IPHONE has taken the place of my Laptop when I travel, it has saved me hours of time in so many ways. I just used my IPHONE to deposit a check into my checking account with a APP that does it though my bank just took a picture of both sides BAM!! deposit made. :)

I want to get one (since I love my Iphone 3GS) - but am concerned that it will be just a "looky-loo" device since typing is a pain in the butt. Is typing an issue?

The on board keyboard is super sensitive and I find it pretty speedy to use with a stylus instead of my big fingers.

Okay, thanks. What I should do is go to a store and try one out.
