Just taken the plunge, I know they have their critics but I wanted one anyway.

I've played with one while in Chicago just after the launch.

They are ok, but not great. Unless you are an old man/woman who spends all day on the couch reading Readers Digest there is not much point to it.  It's just a large iPod Touch.

It will suit me fine then.

The pisser is that it doesn't charge through the USB so you have to carry a charger around with you as well.

Thats no problem; an iPad user will have a large handbag for that.

I was looking at the 32Gb 3G version - but I'm holding off at the moment to see how many of the apps I use are going to do combined iPhone/iPad versions. I don't fancy having to buy them all a second time...

Are you going to do a hatchet job on a SIM card or go with a new Micro SIM?

It's like a giant iphone, with the phone taken out......
And you'll have to buy some clowns trousers to get pockets big enough to carry the bastard around

That was the plan - the 'official' Micro SIM contract prices don't look too wonderful... Having said that, I'd go for the 3G version as much to get the GPS as the 3G.



(Allegedly, all the 3G iPads are unlocked for any network as well...)

Actually, I have two, and they do charge through the USB cable, however, most computers do not put out enough amperage to charge while the unit is on. It will charge while the unit is off, though.



I think my car charger also puts out enough to show a charge while using the ipad, but it may have been another charger somewhere in the house. I have 3 iPhones, so I have chargers everywhere that are compatible.

Forget the iPad, I just picked up an Apple Newton MessagePad with a full 1MB Memory card for just $10 in a Richmond thrift store!

I am taping away on it like it's 1993.

Did you double tap your last post with it?

Yes, it was pre-ordered but has still not shown up.  Should have been here on 28 May, bastards.

Not really sure... Apple delivery just says 'June'... (3-4 weeks for a case as well!)

I wandered into PC World for mine as they had them on the shelf.
