no live deuce cams please.

At least it’s too big to drop in the toilet.

[proud American in Canada]

you know the reason you bought this thing was for toilet entertainment.

I was thinking about getting one, and "toilet entertainment" doesn't even make the list of reasons to buy one.

Personally I do not keep ,never did,and have no plans to have reading material or entertainment screens in the bathroom.

Nor do I want to handle the magazine or newspaper or iPad some schmuck has handled whilst eliminating body waste.

It is a sad comment on people that studies have found ,and I can verify it from casual observation,many neglect to wash their hands before leaving the toilet facilities.

The ancient Chinese custom of shaking one's own hands in greeting looks pretty reasonable in retrospect.

But will it blend?

The iPad probably needs an iGrip.

Remember the Thirty Second Rule when shaking hands.

“At least it’s too big to drop in the toilet”

Long story short I managed to drop a 4 gig Iron Key flash drive in a toilet one time. Just as the water was headed down. I heard a “clink” and a “bloop” looked down just in time to see it swirl away and disappear. At least it was 256 bit encrypted...

“The iPad probably needs an iGrip.”

Well I guess if you have the iPad you can get iPorn to go with your iGrip

The iPhone or Touch is for the bathroom, not the iPad! That’s for the couch!

One shouldn’t sit longer than 5 minutes anyway, or one is in danger of getting ‘roids. Bookworm on the iPhone is a good timer, but only a “timed” game...

Personally I do not keep ,never did,and have no plans to have reading material or entertainment screens in the bathroom.

My parents always told me that only Democrats read in the bathroom. Someone once quoted a newsman on the future or the industry, and he said: "As long as there are toilets, there will be newspapers." For myself, I prefer to get in and get out as fast as possible.

>> As long as there are toilets, there will be newspapers

So THAT’S where they come from! I always suspected...

[jacquej]

Potty humor aside, I love my new iPad.

I have noticed how many are unable to grasp it’s nature, however, and can only think about it as an “either-or” tool.

Someone should do research on the ages & temperaments of those who appreciate it vs. those who find fault.

My phone has internet and streams live TV (unlimited data). I will admit it often goes into my bathroom with me. There are some days bathroom time is the only “me time” I have. File under multi-tasking. :-)

Sorta like the iPad?
