I'm waiting for the iPegasus.
He doesn't travel well. He's like fine shrimp.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Or maybe the iGalactica. Although for work reasons I'll probably end up with the MS Enterprise.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
OK, I've ordered my iPad 2 case, now all I have to do is buy the iPad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I touched my first iPad today, and it was very pretty and made me want an android tablet. The QA person was very patient with me, and I solved the software problem. So I only halfway felt like a dork.

Where is iTunes with sharing among computers and libraries?
Right now, my setup is awkward. My main iTunes is running off my PC. The music is stored on a Linux fileshare. I also have an iTunes server clone running on the Linux box, and all the computers can see it.
Until recently, I hadn't even noticed that I could see playlists as well as songs when I fired up my Mac iTunes and connected.
I'm getting an extra option when I plug the new iPod into the Mac--I synch it with the PC normally. It asks if I want to erase and synch (hells no!) or if I want to transfer purchased items from the Mac to the iPod. Which is currently a set of zero, but does that mean, for instance, that I can contribute to the iPod from two computers? Does the purchased content get copied back onto the PC installation? All devices are set to the same Apple ID.

iPad is ordered. When I logged into apple.com this morning, it said they were shipping in 3-5 business days. When I selected the model I wanted, it bumped up to 5-7 days. When I checked out it said it would be delivered March 22 - March 29, no overnight shipping available. Just in time for my birthday, which was the plan all along.

My phone's been getting the latest iOS update for about 45 minutes now. Time to unplug it and start over, or keep waiting?
(That's 45 minutes of installing, not downloading. It downloaded last night.)

Jessica,
that is a long time. It didn't take that long for my phone. I'm worried about you unplugging and starting over though. Might that brick the phone?
