But surely you want to wait until you can get one with 3G connectivity rather than just WiFi, Amych?? Or maybe that's just me and my airport-going self.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, yeah, I'll definitely wait - among other things, this one belongs to work and I can't afford my own, like, rightnowtoday. But the appeal really is crack-like, and feels different from a lot of other devices that are a cooler X rather than a new and different type of X.

Yeah, I may get one for my Mom when her current computer suicides, but not before then. I'd like one for myself, but I think I can nurse my current computers for some time yet. By the time I get one for me or mom I hope they are cheaper and better.

Yeah, I'm loving my iPad as well. My only mini-tiny complaint is that it's a little heavier than I thought it would be. I finally got the Apple case for it today. My local store has been out of it since it came out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Mommy, can I have one of these?

Our wings are not tired

I opted for the non 3G version mainly because I already have a Verizon MiFi hotspot with a 2 year contract. When that ends I'll probably be ready for a new iPad and will look into the 3G, or whatever is current, version.

I'm also seriously considering getting the 16 GB model for use in the office/shop as an easy and portable way to track rentals coming in and out. I'm going to do more research on it when I get back to Los Angeles.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I want the iPhone 4G SO. MUCH. I hope I can get it subsidized - I've had my 3G about 2 years now, but AT&T is weird about pricing sometimes.

My contract on my BB comes up this summer so this might be the time to finally think seriously about one.
