to make a thread about how I just got an ipad today?

[Edited on May 6, 2010 at 10:31 PM. Reason : I haven't used it yet bc Ken has been hogging it. ]

5/6/2010 10:31:22 PM

Yes.





























Can I play with it?

5/6/2010 10:32:04 PM

5/6/2010 10:32:10 PM

OH SNAP

5/6/2010 10:32:11 PM

i, too, have an mp3 player

(i know fully well you typed pad not pod)

5/6/2010 10:32:16 PM

No. as long as you don't hit it with a golf club and post the video on youtube.

5/6/2010 10:32:43 PM

can i see it?

5/6/2010 10:32:58 PM

YAY! iPad posting buddies!

5/6/2010 10:35:45 PM

i want one too...but i am poor
my drinking problem and me spending on stupid stuff will bring me down

5/6/2010 10:37:05 PM

I don't want one but I want to mess with it to see what all the fuss is about. I think though, if I were to get a tablet computer of any type, I would need it to have a stylus.

hahaha he totally tricked you in thinking that you will get it....he wanted one but you would never agree so he got you one instead....today an ipad, tomorrow a golf club....you will see!

5/6/2010 10:38:24 PM

^^ Same.

5/6/2010 10:39:35 PM

A friend of mine checked one out from DH Hill...It seemed cool. I wouldn't buy one. But it was faster than her net book computer...which impressed me.

5/6/2010 10:41:29 PM

You really, really, really don't need a stylus.

5/6/2010 10:41:56 PM

I CAN DO EVERYTHING I NEED TO WITH MY ROTARY PHONE

can you bake a cake with it?

5/6/2010 10:42:49 PM

^^ Reminds me of the story on This American Life a couple months ago of the man that rigged up his car so that everything could be controlled from a rotary phone dial.

5/6/2010 10:50:42 PM

i7 worth it son, but I already have one.

I'm trying to decide whether to drop my shitty U.S. Cellular plan and get a new contract + HTC Incredible, OR if I should just keep my standard no-tricks phone and get an iPad instead of a Netbook.

Erh, granted, I want at least another generation of iPads.

5/6/2010 10:53:18 PM

I can think of several better things I can do with my money than using it to buy an iPad.

5/6/2010 10:53:30 PM

so can i

that doesn't mean i don't want one, however

5/6/2010 10:55:36 PM

are you pretending you have one, when in actuality you don't?

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

5/6/2010 10:55:58 PM

is that your permanent clipboard or just some finger muscle memory

5/6/2010 10:56:24 PM

The only thing that keeps me from getting an iPad is looking at all the lovely upgrades I could buy for one of my computers.







...and my NCSU e-bill.

5/6/2010 10:57:45 PM

^dem 190% stafford loans, scholarships, and grants, son.

5/6/2010 10:58:24 PM

5/6/2010 11:43:46 PM

I picked one up right after launch and put a ton of TV shows on there for my asia trip a few weeks ago. All of passed it around and watched TV and had no battery issues. It was pretty cool.

Should have gotten 3G though.

5/6/2010 11:52:22 PM

5/6/2010 11:59:43 PM
