ita, I mentioned the Droid GSM incompatibility to DH and he sent me these links for you: [link] and [link]
I"m not sure if that's an endorsement or just "hey, this exists".
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

I do wonder about the value of the iPad name, not just because of the feminine hygiene products jokes but because of the amount of times people are going to say iPod and you'll hear iPad and the other way around.
A small thing, I'm sure. I think that the main reason they went with iPad was to prevent someone else using the name.
I won't be buying one anytime soon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Just wait until the iPed, iPid, iPud and iPyd come out.
iPid sounds worse than iPad, doesn't it?

Also, why does everything have to start with an 'i'?
I think I'm going to call the new device √(-1)Pad....

Ah, thanks barb. That's a much better price, I only saw the hardback prices mentioned, o guess, and since there was no other price mentioned assumed it was all.
I use the calendar on my iPhone pretty heavily already and synch it to outlook (that's a big part of what finally tipped me over). Much easier to plan future visits to places with phone in hand than laptop that has to be web connected!

Beyond that I typically have scripts and show treatments in PDF format and already to most of my notes and markups electronically so I'll be able to bring the iPad to rehearsals and run through instead of sitting with my laptop out.
It will be great for scripts. I find them hard to read on a laptop screen and end up printing out hard copies all the time.

Our wings are not tired
Yeah, I prefer them on paper, but I have to exchange a lot of my work with assistants so it makes so much more sense for my workflow to mark up a PDF, then I can send things to other folks that include my notes. I'm actually in a rehearsal right now with a laptop on my lap taking notes in a script and it is, as usual, not the most comfortable way to work.
