Anyone fed up of their iPad?
Wanted - One iPad - Preferrably 16GB or 32GB wifi model.
Not too hopeful but there's no harm in asking

I'm a complete geek but serious guys...what do you do with them? I can't figure out what they're for. They're not functional
enough to be tablet PCs and they seem a bit expensive to be portable media devices..

Bit off topic but what are people actually using these for?
I have an Iphone and a Laptop and cant see a purpose for anything in between?
Or is it just a fancy gadget that looks good?

For want of being a kill joy, why does everyone want one and what the hell are they going to use them for?
I listened to a guy on the radio the other day queueing for one from 5am, when asked what he was going to do with it he said he was going to use it to
put music scores on and stuff (he was a music student). Asked what he liked about it and why it was so special and worth queueing for his reply was
" well it's cool!".
Stands back and waits..........

I am old school pen and paper, but i can see they have a good use in the modern world, they don't make furniture like they used to and my office
desk leg has broken so i might wait till they are a bit cheaper and get one to put under the leg to stop it rocking.
Is that a good use or do i not get it.

I got the 32gig 3g+wifi and travel a lot with a very crumby dell work PC.
This thing is brilliant FAR easier to lug about than my own laptop (macbook pro) and stays charged for what seems like forever.
its great for browsing and movies and even the 'office' style apps are pretty good.
Oh and im not bored with it.

Not being on the IPhone crazy I can;t see the point either.......
Ooo i've sussed it .... It ties up yet another socket in the kitchen for charging for 12hrs.....
What about a windup version...?

What is it for? What can it do?
Short Answer: Practically everything a laptop can do and it's more portable, runs for longer on a charge, doesn't cook your legs and is
generally a pleasure to use.
History is littered with inventions which initially were mocked or doubted in some way by those without the imagination to understand their usefulness
but in time many of these inventions became ubiquitous. I suspect the iPad, and the inevitable tablet clones which will emerge, will prove to be a
game changer.
Remember Steve Blamer mocking the iPhone? And he is supposed to be leading one of the main companies in the industry!
I respect the opinion of anyone who tries something properly and objectively and concludes that it is not for them but too many just mock new
innovations out of prejudice or fear of change and I find that pretty sad to be honest. Change is good!

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

I absolutely agree with you Craig, it is also a generation thing us older people cannot keep up, stuff just keeps coming out to quick but when my son
gets one wich im'e sure he will i will probably sit down with him and then get my head round it.
Inventions are good or we don't move forward.:

Bit harsh there Craig... the iPad is a funny one (and I'm a confirmed applephile!).
I've no doubt that it does 'everything' very well, but I just can't see where it fits in.
I can do a lot of what the iPad does on my iPhone (which sits neatly in my pocket) and my iMac at home can do so much more.
Is it to use as a stand-alone computer? IMHO, it can't be as it's not up to the demands I would place on it. Is it to use as an
occasional use laptop? Yep, I understand that. But as a 'lifestyle' gadget... ??? Well, it just seems a bit unnecessary to me and not
the evolutionary jump it's cracked up to be!
It's Evolution Baby!

I'm not knocking it, just wondered what is so special that's all
I agree with progress, (just wish I could make some on my car ). I know where you are coming from with the travelling, we are always flitting about
the globe loaded down. If it's as good as you say then maybe our company will replace our HP Laptops so we can travel light too.

I looked at these in the US a while ago.
Neat machine, but don't see a place for me.

its nothing to do with not being able to do it. Flash results in the iphone/pad/pod becoming basically derestricted - steve jobs loses the ability to
control what you can do.

Ipad looks good, but iphone 4 has more functions.
