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.

Amazon has written an app that makes Amazon's library available to the
iPad.

Think about all the content that's populating the web. You Tube can
now deliver HD that's stunning. ESPN has rebranded it's ESPN360 and
ESPN 3. Two channels on television, the third on the web.

That's why Comcast is making the play for NBC/Universal. Content is
going to be everywhere...

I'd opt for the 3G when it comes out, unless you're not in a 3G area.
You're smart to go for the max memory.

If I take the 3G, then I have to have another subscription. I almost always
have wireless... and I have my phone for the ATT network.

Do you spend all of the time that you're out of your basement at the
Apple store in the mall?

There are only two retail stores in the Annapolis mall I visit regularly
when I accompany my wife there...the Apple store and Borders books.

Now, if we head over to the Tysons Corners mall in Virginia (once or
twice a year), I visit the Apple store there, the big book store, L.L.
Bean, and Restoration Hardware. There's also a first-class fairly
authentic southern Italian restaurant at that mall I like.

I buy most of my casual clothes from mail order houses, and my business
clothes from J. Press and Brooks Brothers.

Now, Loogy, you know my retail personal shopping habits. Isn't that
really exciting for you?

Harry, do you think that anybody here besides Don believes your lies
about how much more sophisticated and refined you are than anybody
