iPad - who's going to buy one ?

Lord Kain · 05-10-2010, 06:50 PM

So I here the iPad will be available as of the May 28th. As a lot of you guys get up and jump on the forum first thing in the morning and you people know who I'm talking about. This makes me ask the question, who's going to buy one and which one ?
The prices are as follows :-
WiFi only - 16gb $629, 32gb $759, 64gb $879
WiFi + 3G - 16gb $799, 32gb $928, 64gb $1,049

Ok Nerds fess up....................

I was going to but I'm setting my sights on the new iphone first..

If I do it'll be the 64gb wifi/3g

tjlazer · 05-10-2010, 08:10 PM

I bought the WiFi only version last month. I like it a lot. (Also have an iPhone and iMac) I highly recommend it. But you have to keep in mind, it is NOT a laptop or desktop replacement... For general Internet/email/facebook/eBay/YouTube/Movies, etc its awesome and works well.

do you realize that you are thinking abt spending 1k on a ******* tablet... you can get a FULLY functional laptop for 1k ...

Mr Ed · 05-10-2010, 09:27 PM

isn't ipad a large glorified iPhone?

I heard it doesn't have USB connectivity

I'll pass as I have an iPhone already.

Chriz · 05-10-2010, 09:38 PM

I think they are pretty cool, but there I see no reason to get one considering I have an iphone

texasviking · 05-10-2010, 09:54 PM

I got one on launch day too (yes I'm the guy who has to have the latest greatest gadgets)... I ABSOLUTELY love it!

You have to see yourself using it to justify it, but once you do, you'll never regret it.

How many of you get home and jump on the computer just to browse the forums.. Watch YouTube etc... The iPad is fantastic for this

just my $.02

douglaslperry · 05-10-2010, 10:10 PM

I got one of the 3G 64GB ones, and love it, except for one little thing. I can't get the new posts button to work because it won't let me login. I'm suspecting browser incompatibility, but i could be confused. It's been known to happen before

EVL370 · 05-10-2010, 10:37 PM

pfft, I would rather a injen intake. But thats just me .....

iPad - its amazing how many people poo poo new gadgets without any understanding of them. I'll probably get one after 6 mo or so when they've settled down a bit, I've already figured out that I can hook it up to the hifi via wireless connection and use its screen to provide a graphicakl interface to easily choose music to play from the iPod interface, Use it around the house instead of lugging a laptop around to look at the Z forum, read newspapers at the b'fast table - woo hoo and a whole heap of stuff that heas'nt even been dreamt up yeat.....bring it on!

shabarivas · 05-12-2010, 03:07 AM

dreamt of yet? the ipad is the single biggest re-invention of the wheel ever ... just cus steve called it a wholl does not mean its the best thing since sliced bread... come on folks open your eyes... its an over-glorified, under-performing, over-priced, functionality-gimped laptop with no keyboard... for 600 bones...

Gee · 05-12-2010, 03:12 AM

Ya, just like the ipod is a re-invention of the 70's walkman, and the Z is a re invention of the Model T ford, the iphone is a re invention of the Motorola bick of the 80's.dude gimme a break, ....

shumby · 05-12-2010, 03:18 AM

really i like new gagets and tend to buy them as soon as rthey are out but I really don't see what the ipad can do that my iphone cannot? I would really like to know. I am not being cheeky i really would like to know as I have been doing some looking into it

chiliwili · 05-13-2010, 10:51 PM
