I’m looking forward to try them out. I was hoping that the iPad would hit the Apple refurb store but so far no dice.
There’s an app for that...............
Do they make it in liquid form....That's way too big for me to swallow
The PC paradigm, on the other hand, was more of an "open architecture" approach, which led to a large number of companies all developing hardware that would run under the Microsoft operating systems, which were not so tightly held.
One begins to suspect that the same dynamic is at work here. Let's just grant that Apple's iPad represents a new paradigm (which I actually doubt, but let's grant it).
These other companies are already beginning to capitalize on the iPad's perceived weaknesses, and taking advantage of more open hardware and software architectures.
Unless Apple changes their approach, I suspect that before too long, Bill Gates or somebody like him will be bailing out Steve Jobs once again.
I don’t want one, I don’t need one. I have no need to be “connected” and traced everywhere I go. I have no need to know when others are pooping.
Love my little iRobot! Cost was $100, with the 8 GB MicroSD card. Upgraded to Android 2.1, it runs fast, efficiently, lasts about 8 hours on a charge, and is a great form factor. It’s a 7” screen, so easily held in one hand, weighs about 300 grams (about 1/3rd of an iPad), and has plenty of power and features for what I need.
Being able to share memory cards with my phone and digital camera is great; no need to hook up cables or to my computer to move stuff around. I can use the built-in 4 GB of FLASH in the iRobot as a swap drive if needed, but honestly, with the cost and insanely small size of MicroSD cards (I think I have a few extras in my wallet, with my 3 international SIM cards), it’s easy to carry 64+ GB without even knowing you have them!
Yes, you did.
Adam by Notion Ink has been the talk of all the insiders.
The bigger Apple rumor is an I-TV. Loads of apps to make the TV way cool.
