Yep and I agree it is solid as rock, that kernel doesn't crash unless you smash your machine

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
I've heard that the reason Mac OS is more stable than Windows is that Mac used a pure Unix foundation but Windows used some sort of hacked version and because of that, it wouldn't run like Mac and has problems.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
Well the code that built the kernal for MAC is far superior than MS-DOS which gates purchased way back in the 80's and the kernel32 is horrendous with everything accessing it. Hopefully 64 will be much better but it just seems that apps/companies other software vendors are still in beta with supporting 64bit fully, kind of like Adobe with their Flash. They got the CS family ported over successfully, well at least I think it's running efficiently. I haven't had any problems yet with CS4 on Vista 64bit.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
They both have plenty of problems, in my experience Mac computers crash just as much as Windows PC's
Anyways--Good news, Apple removed the restriction of VOIP apps from 3G so you'll be able to make calls with this over 3G with VOIP.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
I'm still on CS I can't afford to keep up with Adobe, though at some point I do need to bite the bullet and buy the upgrade. For awhile, it was a lot of money for little changes from previous versions, now that a few have passed there are enough advancements.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
Think about 3D programs--3ds Max is $3,500, they have a new version every year, in fact one time they had a new release in October and then the next version in March (that pissed a lot of people off). But luckily they have a subscription service for like $400 a year that gives you all updates and new releases for free.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
They never show the iPad keyboard being used on any surface but a person's lap. Makes me wonder how difficult it will be to use on a flat, horizontal surface. The backing doesn't look flat.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
It isn't flat, and that's one big complaint--since the keyboard is so small it's already hard to type, but without the back actually being flat it makes it even harder to type

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
The "cover" which is leather (natch!) will double as a kickstand
It is also reportedly going to eat the "bend" similar to a lot of cases do. They also have keyboard dock for the times you are going to do a lot of surfing
Griffin just announced their first products for it which help lay it flat as well.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
I don't want to pay that much money to watch a cropped/pan & scan version of Star Trek.
I would be much more tempted by a 16x9 screen--or at least something closer than what they're offering at this point. If there was a way to import one of my Blu-rays into iTunes at 720p and store it on this thing for playback, I would love it. But that's never going to happen. So for the time being, I'm sticking with physical discs and a laptop.

Nice, but still an oversight, unless you're telling me those accessories are included with the iPad purchase.

Anywhere from $500 to $800+ depending upon your choice of memory and 3G capability.
