iPad and iPad Specific Apps

Hey Natwick, in my head I know you’re right, but I’m in the gripes of coveting. :slight_smile:

I know how you feel. My nutritious, rational side says “Wait for the second generation devices” but my frosted, fun loving side says “Wooooooooo!”

“FBI investigating AT&T iPad security breach
Hackers exposed e-mail addresses of prominent iPad 3G users”

In all, more than 100,000 email addresses are believed to have been exposed. Goatse could not immediately be reached for comment.

That last sentence is so wrong. d:

I know! It’s so weird to hear Scott Simon et al. talking about goatse.

Well this really can’t be blamed on Apple I mean this is an at&t problem, so if this scares folks simply get a WiFi model and myfi. And your golden.

On an unrelated side note everytime it try to type myfi on my phone the predictive text suggestes nudity. Snicker

I’ve been having the same dilemma, I just have to keep telling myself I have better things to burn money on right now!

oh gosh…my coworker got one and I REALLY want one now…I keep telling myself to wait for Gen 2 or a price drop but its getting hard!!!

I know what you mean.

They have a demo at the local Best Buy and I think they’re starting to notice that I’m always there playing with it… even with Groucho glasses and nose.

Why I want an iPad:

…and interactive eMags look cool too.

Why I won’t get one for quite a while:
It costs money.

(maybe by the time I can afford one, a version w/ a front facing camera will be out for skype conferencing)

I currently have a Macbook (original) and I will say that my next computer will absolutely be an iPad. Don’t see any reason to get anything else. Probably will make the switch in the next couple of years.

Ok, I have something to tell you— and do not hate me or start calling me “lucking crom-damn bastard” under your breath.

Ready?

I WON an iPad!! I was at a conference thingy for work and at press conference they did a give away for two iPads. With only 11 journalist there, my odds were pretty good. And I WON!!

Wooooo Hoooo. Whooooo …Hooo…Whooooooo Hoooo !!! Wooooo Hoooo. Whooooo …Hooo…Whooooooo Hoooo !!! Wooooo Hoooo. Whooooo …Hooo…Whooooooo Hoooo !!! Wooooo Hoooo. Whooooo …Hooo…Whooooooo Hoooo !!! :D:D

Don’t know what the frak to do yet. I’m not an iPhone user, so I don’t understand the whole “app” thing. Yet. Need advice. Need tips.

I need …I need…Oh! I need a female yeoman in a regulation cut star fleet skirt, so come up to the bridge and hold my iPad for me …IYKWIM.
Is there an app for this?

I’d say start with some games. Angry Birds and Plants Vs. Zombies are great placed to start. And congratulations!

Touch screens are great ways to get children to be quiet at restaurans, I’ve found. But an iPad is pretty darn nice and expensive.

I also attend (usually remotely) meetings for the giveaways. So far no iPad or Kindle. But a man can dream, though. A man can dream.

Thanks. iBookstore lets you download parts of books as samples. So I got 53 pages of the latest Bob Woodward book and the iPad seems like a great book reader.

Topgun also recommended Angry Birds. I’ll have to check that one out.

The iPad as a portable web surfing device is really cool. In minutes I was watching you tube via my home internet on the iPad.

I fear the iPad is gonna become like “The One Ring” in LOTR in our house.
Everyone will be coveting it—and become corrupted by it’s power.
(But it’s so cool!!) :smiley:

No! That way lies madness!

Get PvZ. You can actually complete it in this lifetime.

I second PvZ. Just got it last week and spent several evenings playing it through. Great game for the price.

Wah, you don’t like 50 million lvls then the bonus ones.:p:D

I got my mom an Ipad. Just the wifi one (shes 84 and doesn’t go out with it so saved on 3g). It will become your next best friend. You just keep finding more things to do with it.
