Got to play with one at the local Apple store...
Very slick if you are a major league consumer of on-line media and
apps...which I am not.

I think they're totally cool. I think I'm going to get one for a
b-day
present... don't want the 3G model, just wireless. I've already put
in
my
request for the max memory version. 
They are very cool indeed, but I'm hard pressed to think of what I
would
use one for. Hell, I don't even have an iphone...just a plain old cell
phone.

I would use it for movies and pictures. It has a microphone, so I think
you
could use it with Skype... not sure about this.
Hadn't thought about that...but...since Apple is controlling the
"apps"for
the device, and use of Skype would interfere with sales growth of its
iPhone, I wonder if and when it would be available. It definitely is not
a
phone as delivered. The iPad does a very nice job with movies and still
photos...saw that demonstrated at the local apple store this past
saturday.

Conservatives - just pretend Obama's health care legislation is another
unnecessary war and you'll feel better about it.
I have skype on my iPhone. Works fine.
I have no experience with Iphones. You have AT&T and you are able to go
around it via Skype? You make calls without using AT&T at all? That's
cool.
I suspect there would have to be an iPad specific app for that to
happen...I can't see apple allowing that.

Yeah, AT&T. I don't use Skype a lot.. I have unlimited minutes, but every
once in a while I can't get on their network. It's pretty seamless. I pay
for an account, so I can dial non-skype numbers. I used to have a Skype
number, but no one ever called on anything but the land-line or cell number,
so it was just a waste of money.
Skype is a free app... I can't imagine Apple would care, since they don't
for the phone. The iPad has speakers and a microphone, so I think it would
have all the hardware required. I'll have to ask my Apple friend and see if
he knows something about any restrictions.
