As of 3/25 I also have a "pending" charge on my credit card for the 64GB iPad I ordered. Does anyone have a guess as to whether the iPad will be shipped directly from China, like the 27" i7 iMac I have, or is there already a supply in-country for…

When I bought my 27" iMac i7 it was shipped from China and you could follow its progress via the tracking number. Does anyone have a clue whether the iPads scheduled for 3 April delivery will be shipped directly from China or whether they'll already…

I'm definitely getting one but I'm vacillating whether to order March 12 from Apple, place an order at my nearest Apple Store or wait until I've had a chance to play with it in-store. We have trips planned for April and May, so I'm leaning towards r…

Marvin, the big problem with the iPad, besides the horrible name, is that there was no consensus of what people wanted it to be. For me, who basically wanted an iPod Touch on steroids, it's a home run. Obviously for you, who seemed to want a do-ever…

Dave, you left out #41, a "beam me up Scotty" feature. Seriously, I'm happy with my iPod Touch with the exception of the small screen, which makes web browsing less than ideal. So I'd be easily satisfied if the new "iSlate" is nothing more than a…

I received my i7 this morning, ordered 11/11/09, shipped 11/19/09, received 11/23/09. Have it set up but haven't turned it on yet. I ordered a 400-->800 firewire cable from Monoprice that was supposed to have shipped 11/16 but I still haven'…

I have a Panasonic 50" 720p plasma from late 2006-- at the time 1080p was out of out of our budget. I have no burn in and any image retention last for only a matter of seconds. I'm sold on plasma rather than LCD, especially for movies, deeper richer…

As I said earlier, I'm firmly in the "maybe" camp. One of the big problem with the iTablet is that not everyone wants the same feature set. I'm wondering if they'll release two tablets, one with the features of an iPhone the other of the iPod Tou…

Dave, you should have included a "maybe" option in your poll. I'm interested but only if the tablet meets my needs and price point.

I had been backing up my data on DVDs for both home and off-site storage and found it to be a pain. Right now the price on portable HDs has fallen to a point where I cloned my HD to a portable 500GB HD. I use two 500 portables, one for off-site one …

Marvin, thanks for your informative reply. I'll be sticking with the 7300 since there seems little benefit to upgrade to the 8800.

Marvin, you seem very knowledgeable so I have a question for you. I have the original Mac Pro from 2006. Although I've upgraded the RAM to 7GB, it still has the original NVIDIA GeoForce 7300GT video card. Given that my most demanding use for the …
