I’m still trying to come up with a reason why I would want a tablet. Okay, it has a bigger screen than my phone but besides that they’re the same device—and I can’t make a call with a tablet or put it in my pocket.
well i got a kindle 3 instead. Allows me to read freerepublic.com on a mobile device using free internet
This Saturday I counted three iPads in the course of a five minute train ride in West Tokyo. One user was an elderly woman who was using hers to read a newspaper, one kid was going back and forth between email his and a comic book and the third was too far away for me to see what he was doing with his.
They’re all over the place now. It seems most people have dedicated carry bags for them.
I’ve used the iTouch to surf but the text is so small it’s difficult. If I enlarge the text I have to scroll the display back and forth.
I’ve tried Atomic browser. I’m using it now. IMHO Atomic has issues that make it difficult also.
The iPad solves all of that. Love it.
I have 2 Dr. appts. this week and it will be w/ me in the waiting room.
BTW, I’ve got a Sony reader also and the iPad is superior hands down as a reader. The one exception is in sunlight.
It appears you will be able to call and video conference with the new Samsung Tab.
Actually, you can use it for a phone with several apps, so long as you have a WIFI connection... The Apple head set for the iPhone, or several of the after market ones, will work fine for that purpose.,, or you can use it as a speaker phone. Skype and iCall are just two of the apps I know of that give the iPad VOiP capability.
