I would go with this hands down. Seriously if I didn't have major expenses coming up this thing would be in my hands now and I would be on my couch with it.

I found a video of the comic app in action. Looks pretty cool.

As soon as this is available for DC they'll have one more sale with me.

These things could save publishing - I never buy magazines anymore, but I'd definitely pay to read one on a tablet device.

Meh. They need a universal reader that just goes through cbz or cbr files if not just a basic comic reader that would have apple's own extension tag, not difficult to change the extensions like you do to get videos uploaded.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

this one's been working just fine with everything I've thrown at it:
I think you even get the iPhone version free when you get the iPad App.

Israel bans imports of Apple iPad
JERUSALEM – Israel has banned imports of Apple Inc.'s hottest new product, the iPad, citing concerns the powerful gadget's wireless signals could disrupt other devices.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

I finally got to mess with this last night and as cool as it was, I am still going to wait for v2.0 - This thing should have come with a camera and the ability to multi-task at the very least.

I would use this to iChat or Skype easily and having a real USB port would allow me to hook up a wireless card instead of being locked into an AT&T service.

I think HP has a better solution for the hardware but I'm not sold on the Windows 7 aspect of it.

Maybe v2.0 will steal the dual camera, HDMI, SD Card, and USB portions from what HP is releasing.

Meh...full OS = low battery life = what's the point of a portable device?? Windows 7 isn't even optimized for touch screen applications is it??
~~With he iPhone's upcoming OS upgrade with multitasking I'm willing to bet that Apple is working out the kinks and gonna upgrade the iPad for the same. I'm still waiting for a full on public released iPad hack. Apple's claim for excellent battery life is also spot on. I haven't run this through the motions, but I've only had to hook it up to the charger once since I've owned it.

I'm not a Windows fan by any means. Even though the OS is the source of my income, I hate it most of the time.

If it wasn't for the issues with Microsoft, I'd be in a different profession.

My statement was more towards Apple including the aspects that HP put in theirs.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"

That's a good point, but I'd be happy with just an SD card slot. They've been putting them in their MBP for while now so why not the iPad right?? As for USB it would be great, but wouldn't it add some size to the slim design of the iPad?

I am not going to pretend like I have been keeping up with the buzz and features of the iPad but it doesn't have USB?
