xoom has no flash support... the iPad is cool, but it has too much potential to put up $800+ for the current models. imo.

[jjgold]

It definately cannot replace laptop

I think a netbook might be more efficient and powerful.

[Iwinyourmoney]

iPad is amazing, best purchase ive ever made

[virus]

Netbook much and much and much better!

[Fishhead]

When does the next version of the IPAD slated to come out?

In reality.....you don't. But while the iPhone's screen is amazing, the full viewing laptop size screen of the iPad is obviously much more convenient to look at most things. With the iPad 2 having an integrated camera/video, I use it for all kinds of things I never thought I would. Even have started using it more as a business tool, though we got it simply for recreation.

ok makes sense...some excellent info coming in
Netbooks are standing in my way because they are just as small and seem to do more

thanks in advance

depends on WHAT netbook... lets say a 6 cell hp or acer..

battery life on the netbook is about 8-9 hours word processing and 5-6 web browsing or watching video of some sort

battery life on the IPAD 2, about 8 browsing the internet..

YWMV

Ipad is phenomenal, especially for me because of the ease of carrying it versus a laptop. Mossberg is always a great read on apple products, he talks about ipads vs. laptops

IPAD recieving very good reviews from an array of SBR posters........interesting.

False.

False.

[jjgold]

you guys making it hard

I swear if the good reviews keep coming in and I am going to fukkin rob one

[KC]

I think ipad3 will be out by fall, have the first one, second one did not do enough to get me to buy it...my kid uses it way more than I do anyway

[k13]

Ipad is great if you want to pointless things on it, laptop if you want to get everything done.

No flash, no usb port, low resolution, no sd card, everything to do with apple.

Really, its just all round crap with Apple hype machine working overtime.


Where do you guys carry your ipads anyway, in your purses?

I have everything I need on my Atrix and a laptop that runs circles around the ipad for the same price if not cheaper.

[jjgold]

It seems its strength's are games apps but mainly for browsing
typing wise it could be a challenge

[Fishhead]

Notebook in the lead

[jjgold]

I think if you have an iphone you will not appreciate an ipad as much

False.

The point of the iPad isn't to replace your laptop. It can't. But its awesome if you're traveling, or sitting on the couch, and simply want something to surf the web, check out scores, watch movies/video, etc. Much less cumbersome than either having to lug a laptop on a plane, or sitting with it in your lap.

As far as typing goes, its surprisingly smooth. Wasn't sure how I would like the touchscreen, but it actually is really simple to work. I send dozens of emails from Vegas last week, and I typed the majority on the iPad. I can certainly bang out a paragraph quicker on it than I can my iPhone 4.

[jjgold]

Rod your right

I was looking on youtube and they got 11 inch really cool netbooks. there only weakness is games/apps if you like that

I guess it all comes down to what your using it for

JJ, Fishhead, & I are all old. The larger the screen.....the better!!

[Rod1010]

[jjgold]

[blinky88]
