I haven’t even had my fingers on a floppy in over 12 years... LOL ...
There was lots of talk about textbooks on the iPad back in janurary. I think they’re going to get there. If they’re available through the condole on amazon then you can get them now as there is a kindle app for the pad.
ipads are more hype than hoopla, hows that for a fact
Thanks for providing me with the example on this thread of exactly what I was saying ... LOL ...
[ ... in case y'all didn't see, I said, "However, they are usually woefully short on the facts and more expressive of their negativity, than anything else... " ... LOL ...]
That is one thing I don’t like about my iPhone-it does not work with Flash..
ahh star, you can keep on but nothing ever changes with your story. You think apple can do no wrong. You worship their every bead of sweat.
I think they are just another company that caters to a mostly liberal customer base. They make some good products and some crappy products.
I don’t think it will fly.
But not because it isn’t a good idea, it is a great and brilliant idea.
The problem is, school textbooks are a major scam. Major.
They won’t give that up. But I know for sure...textbooks will be a killer application for me if one can bookmark and annotate with comments.
The iPad won't put a dent in their incomes, but this will.
There are cheaper digital picture frames. Some even have apps and connect to the internet, all for less than $200.
I see a problem here.
What Apple should have made is a focused content-creation device similar to the Courier mockups, with pen-input in addition to capacitive touch.
Karl Rove is a conservative?
Who knew? He sure has managed to keep that a secret all these years.
Karl Rove is a conservative?
I guess you missed it, when he came in with President Bush, eh?
No that just shows that not even Rove or Rush are perfect. Everyone makes mistakes.
You mean we agree on something! Say it aint so Joe!
No that just shows that not even Rove or Rush are perfect. Everyone makes mistakes.
Except... they don't think it's a mistake... doncha know ... LOL... It's funny, but neither do all the FReepers here who have bought one -- and have been using it.
Very odd indeed, eh?
Huh?
I use Flash for practically all my videos on the internet, including the essential viewing sports clips from NBA.com, Fox Sports, MLB.com, as well as Youtube and practically all my favorite old TV series like the Lone Ranger, Bart Masterson, The Twilight Zone,Alfred Hitchcock Hour, The Flintstones, Bewitched etc and all these classic TV series that I really love in addition to all the movies I watch online. I need Flash. Why would anyone give up Flash just so he can use some Apple feminine hygiene product with no USB port, which is less useful than any Toshiba laptop which only costs $350 and has Flash, a webcam, USB ports, as well as a keyboard, a great 15.4 screen, and runs the over a million Windows 7 applications?
These Flash pop ads you are going on about..there is something called pop-up blockers, and most sites I visit don't play any welcoming video unless I click on the videos to play it. There is no way 99% of my or anyone’s Flash videos are ads. But hey, don't let me stop ya from spinning Steve Job's propaganda will ya?
ignorance is bliss
ignorance is bliss
I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be using your motto... :-)
It won’t survive an Iranian EMP strike.

You need a bigger microwave oven to store it in.
