I for one actually appreciated SpotOn's initial comment. The only way you make an informed decision is to get a critical review.
Also, I hadn't thought of the ceiling-mounted bungee cord; I was going more in the direction of material-handling suction cups for myself.
I also look forward to resurrecting my old folding Bluetooth keyboard for my Nokia 770 so I can actually use it as a laptop replacement when on the road. My only regret is there is no SketchUp app planned yet. (Not that I have any idea how you could make it usable.)
Okay, I've read enough reviews, watched enough videos, and looked at enough 3rd-party iPad apps, now I'm waiting for iFixit to rip one apart on Saturday. Of course, since iLoki has labeled me a Luddite I must be lying.
Well at least we can all agree that it's just a gigantic iPod Touch and be done with it.
"There's a negative way of saying that," says Schiller, "and a positive. 'Oh, it's just a big iPhone ... boo!' or 'Hey, it's like a big iPhone ... cool!'
Well, look, the way humor works is that you either get it or you don't. If you don't get it, it's really no use anyone trying to explain it to you. But, I assure you, you are exactly the person Pogue was making fun of in the part of the review labeled "for techies". I know you don't understand why, or what, or how... but, like I said, if you don't get, you just don't get it.
Now run along and go buy that netbook you've had your eyes on.
(OK, I know it's hopeless, but, hint: The part of the review for "everybody else" was the review. The part "for techies"... he was just making fun of you. Yes, you. No, really, you.)
No I get it, what u don't get is the "everybody else" part of the review which you and solipism praise was titled "The iPad is Basically a gigantic iPod Touch". Did u and solipism miss that with your biased reading comprehension?
Don't forget to post your photo of you licking your new iPad on Saturday at 9:01.

My only dilema is if 16-32GB is adequate storage.
I don't think you can lump all those (or any, actually) of those reviewers into the Thurrott camp.
lol, your kidding right?

Surely Schiller meant iPod Touch not iPhone.
