This is good to hear.
I just don't see it as a computer replacement for me because all I basically use my home computer for is downloading music and movies. I only plan on buying a 16gb ipad and keep most everything on my home computer. But great to hear you find it so functional

O'rly? According the the Android Marketplace the only EA games are the following Bejewled 2, Need For Speed Shift, Sims 3, Tetris, Worms, Fifa 10, and Madden 10 & 11. Most of those titles are old as dirt. iOS has all of those games right now AND NBA Jam, Fight Night Champion, EA MMA, Deadspace, Battlefield Bad Company, Ultimate Mortal Kombat and a slew of others to round up to around 90 iPhone/iPod games and around 20 iPad optimized games. Now compare that to the 7 apps that are mostly old that the Android has and you see the problem.

You can remotely download things from iOS to your phone depending on what type of file sharing service you use. I primarly use Usenet and I am able to que downloads from the app myNZB and it will download through to my sabNZBd server that is on my PC. If you use torrents Demonoid has its own iOS app which I believe pushes them to uTorrent.

1. people act like a jailbroken iPad 2 can't run Honeycomb
.
2. a $499 device with 2 cams, dual-core processor, & Honeycomb >>> $799 Motorola Xoom
3. If you look at the pricing of the models, 5 of the 6 iPad 2s are all priced BELOW the Xoom. To penetrate the market, its ALL about price point and having yours meet or set BELOW the dominant company's. Until somebody makes an iPad competitor running Android at $499 with an AGGRESSIVE marketing campaign, you will NOT knock the iPad off the top spot.
Don't believe me, ask Nokia's CEO Stephen Elop about the iPhone:
Of the iPhone's entry into the market, he wrote:
In 2008, Apple's market share in the $300+ price range was 25 percent; by 2010 it escalated to 61 percent. They are enjoying a tremendous growth trajectory with a 78 percent earnings growth year over year in Q4 2010. Apple demonstrated that if designed well, consumers would buy a high-priced phone with a great experience and developers would build applications. They changed the game, and today, Apple owns the high-end range.

yeah and if you really want to have fun.. Jailbreak it.. I noticed it with the iPhone that it is easily the best device out when you have such a crowd supporting it.. Netflix and Huluplus are cool.. www.filmon.com <= allows you to watch basic cable tv from the iPad although it is California tv.. It works well for me since I'm in NY.. You can download song straight off safari using safari download manager, dtunes(which is like a limewire) Yourtube (download YouTube videos) .. PM me if you have any questions.

This dudes is a straight Android fanboy and a apple basher
In all your post all you do is bash every apple device... in the iphone thread and now in the ipad thread
SMH
I don't care what anyone say the iphone/ipad will be copped over any android cellpone/tablet anyday why ?
Because of the crap load of Apps that they have and support period
When the android devices start getting more apps and support i will look into them but until then apple >

I ended up selling my iPad yesterday on Craigslist so I'm all set to cop a 16GB WIFI next Friday. Now to decide where I'm coppin it from either Best Buy or Apple. I also decided to switch over to the $45 plan with AT&T so I can tether with new iOS 4.3.

TBH if there is no way to online preorder it you should just forget about trying to get it on launch. I did an instore preorder pickup rather than online preorder ship to my house and i was in like for literally 7 hours and that was in the preorder line there was also a no pre order line. There will probably be enough supply to match the demand but Apple store employees are EXTREMLY lax when it comes to selling stuff. If you are thinking about getting it on launch you may need to dedicate your whole day to it.

My iphone 3gs is jailbroken and it was the greatest move iv ever made. Free apps alone is worth it better yet all the customization benefits. Ive used dtunes on my phone as well as yourtube but with the HDMI out i might just use your advice to watch tv on the new ipad.
No beef alchemist to each his own as we all know. It really is all subjective.

That's why we have options this year. There's Walmart, Best Buy, & Sam's Club and I'm sure as the launch gets closer the list will grow for retailers. Every area is different. What works for your area may not work for mine. Worse case scenario is I go back Saturday and cop one.

If you know me like you think you do, you'd know that I own a Mac and my OS and make of choice is Symbian and Nokia.
