Very slick if you are a major league consumer of on-line media and apps...which I am not. -- http://tinyurl.com/ykxp2ym 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. -- http://tinyurl.com/ykxp2ym 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. -- http://tinyurl.com/ykxp2ym 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. I'd guess it might be do-able with a 3G/4G iPad. -- http://tinyurl.com/ykxp2ym I think it's doable with just the wireless version... I don't really want yet another AT&T account. That's what I'm hoping anyway. Well, you are out of league with all this fancy telephone stuff. All I use my cell for is to make and receive phone calls... :) -- http://tinyurl.com/ykxp2ym Gasp. That's all? lol -- Nom=de=Plume |
