All is well that ends in pizza.

Noted from iFixit.com on the upcoming iPad:

According the FCC filing, the version that includes 3G will be model A1337.

Heh.

Hmm. Putting a hub in my closet is...annoying (also, the smart panel is closed up, so I don't quite get how that will work. I will have to play with this. Or maybe just get Liese to come visit! That sounds like the BEST plan!)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

This is also a good plan! I could totally hook you up.

My smart panel has a cover screwed to the wall, too. I used to painstakingly unscrew it and replace it, but I got sick of it and now it's just open. If I had it to do over again, I'd have gotten a different kind of cover.

BUT! There are hubs you can get that can mount inside the panel, so it might be something you don't have to look at or deal with at all once it's done.

Indeed.

Okay, so I finally upgraded my main OSX machine to Leopard.

No intel processor, so now snow for me.

OTOH? Time machine.

I'm posting from the Apple Store on an iPad. The keyboard is better than i thought

I was reading somewhere that having it wide instead of tall makes the keyboard livable.

I quite imagine having a typewriter copy stand at home along with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard would make it even better when one was not on the road/away form home.

Maybe an antique wood copy stand or mini easel would be neat.

Not a glowing recommendation. Is it good? or just acceptable?

iFixit has a production iPad teardown now: [link]

not for the faint at heart.

Omins, I liked the wide keyboard setup. It worked well enough to me to type longer things. It was thinner and lighter than I thought. I think I could hold it with one hand comfortably, like to read or watch a movie.

I didn't buy one. They suggested I wait in line until 3pm and I said nonthank you. Honestly, for me at this point it would mostly be a toy. I'm having trouble coming up with a need. But I would like it because my kids often want to watch movies on my phone and I would like to watch stuff myself from time to time.
