I actually toyed around with one at Best Buy today. Better than the iPhone, and kind of neat, but not five-hundred mother fucking dollars neat.

How much money a year would you estimate you spend on electronics stuff, Prole?
I might actually make 100 dollars this month... :hyperspoiler (click to show/hide):fbm[close]

You can watch live baseball games on that? cool
Wow, I never would have guessed Prole is a rich fucker, he doesn't even capitalize his sentences properly.
If you want one you can go to Ar-Riyadh. A friend of mine found like 4 of them at some apple fanboy's store, for like 2,000 or 3,000 riyals.:(
Goddammit, stop breaking my heart :(

i will be reviewing the ipad. i may even record from it!
i will not be playing agarest wars with my primary gamertag!
i am flat on my back streaming cronenberg's the fly right now to it
next up: lars von trier's antichrist
on a wednesday?
-shrug-
my ex & I had thursday night date nights; dunno, it's possible.
but this is about WHY THE IPAD IS MAGICKAEL, not how i spend my suburban upper middle-class evenings
it's my morning newspaper; it's my lunchtime teevee stream; it's my before-bed book or web crawl; it's my bored-at-the-parents manga session; it's my "let's play air hockey" or read winnie-the-pooh on the road moments with my daughter; it's my sunday afternoon couch-bound slog through the news of the week experience.
so this is the first time your weltanschauung is tested, then
hm, i've been discussing this with fellow ipadsexual tvc15, and we kinda agree that the ipad, like the wii, is NOT something for hardware geeks.
What does 3G do for the ipad if you're not taking it outside the house?It gets rid of surplus income.
nothin'. however, i use it the most outside the house.

That's why I don't wanna get married just yet. Adult entertainment becomes such a hassle once you're no longer single.
Damn it all, Prole.
I'd hardly given the iPad five minutes thought up to this point, and now I want one. Desperately.
hm, i've been discussing this with fellow ipadsexual tvc15, and we kinda agree that the ipad, like the wii, is NOT something for hardware geeks. however, UNLIKE the wii, it isn't made on the cheap and doesn't revolve around stupid gimmickry. it's a device for a specific lifestyle.tl;dr: its a giant smartphone.
for me, it really works because it is a great, unobtrusive, slick form factor that works GREAT for casual web browsing, movie streaming, book/comic/manga reading, wiki plundering, and magazine/newspaper browsing. i already spend a great deal of time just reading and consuming information on the internet, and this is like the perfect convergence form factor and experience for INFORMATION CONSUMPTION -- in fact, it really feels like the ideal lifestyle device for me. it's my morning newspaper; it's my lunchtime teevee stream; it's my before-bed book or web crawl; it's my bored-at-the-parents manga session; it's my "let's play air hockey" or read winnie-the-pooh on the road moments with my daughter; it's my sunday afternoon couch-bound slog through the news of the week experience. i don't hafta be propped up in front of a keyboard; i can easily use it to show friends shiz; you can put it on its back and play little games with the kid or wife; it streams and plays movies like a champ; you can have it open next to you for convenient gamefaqqery or im chats with online pals. i find it so trememndously useful for the absurdly technophilic "always connected" way i conduct my life that i can't imagine why i was so down on it to begin with. it's made my netbook feel cumbersome and useless, by comparison.
my recommended apps:
ibooks
newsreaders for: nyt; usa today; bbc news; npr
wikipanion plus
civilization revolution
netflix
pages (for jotting down notes)
the built-in email client
im+
a bunch of simple games for the fam, like crosswords and word searches and air hockey
safari (really fast, surprisingly)

Is most epaper reflective, rather than self-illuminating?
