Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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.
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.

I"m not sure if that's an endorsement or just "hey, this exists".
Thanks, -t. Now I just have to decide how crazy in love I am. I have an unlocked European phone right now, and it's mostly okay.
And I laughed and laughed...
What was he thinking? It's not like Jobs suddenly had a personality transplant.
