    Dude at least I don't have to sell my shares to afford and iPad. Thats makes alot of sense. Selling something that increases to buy something that decreases rapidly in value. You keep up the good work there E.F Hutton.



    If you need any accessories maybe you can just pop out a gold tooth, you know gold is at an all time high......

    at least he can spell YOU'RE and OFF!



    jk jk jk



    seriously, who cares? what an odd thing to bicker about. The market is up today everywhere. Being the ignorant uneducated doofus that I am, I have to go with my gut instinct and say Apple's stock is slightly higher because of this announcement, but maybe not by as much as some people here would like to make it sound.



    I say that because I just don't see the sense in it going up a good bit all from this announcement. Everyone knew it was coming already.

    Even if I ignore the mis-spelling of "GB" (you said Gigabit), there are "WiFi devices" of all stripes, sizes and prices from 50 cents all the way up to millions of dollars.



    Funny how you felt the need to slam me for using Gb instead of GB yet fully understood what I meant? \



    And fyi-"$500 16GB WiFi device" means exactly what it says.

    I'm talking about both. Lots of video on the 'web just won't work on a 'Pad.



    Additionally, lots and lots of video will need transcoding to work.



    And finally, the antique aspect ratio means that movies will be tiny compared to any modern 16:9 10 inch screen.



    Meh. The 'Pad falls down in exactly the areas for which I would most want a tablet.

    Like everyone else said, you are entirely without a clue. Education your way would be like being sent back six grades.

    techPowerUp forums let you sit and watch a thread get updated in real time without having to refresh the page. Off topic, I know, but still cool. For threads that move quickly it's kinda like being in a chat room.

    Being sent back six grades would be an improvement for most of you. Clearly I am doing something right seeing I don't have to sell any of my stock to buy anything. So I wouldn't knock my understanding of the market.

    Does this mean that there likely won't be any shortages as speculated before?

    Well, that would assume that they (as in extremeskater) got past the 5th?

    The US 3G model is unlocked, nothing specific about carriers and locked vs. unlocked has been said for other countries.

    I am still wondering about one thing: tethering your iPhone to a Wifi-only iPad? Will work?



    That is the big question.
