I have no real interest in one, were it more open, closer to a Macbook than an iPod Touch I'd be quite interested, but with the same limitations as my iPhone sans phone, I'll pass.
I will be pre-ordering the iPad as soon as it is available through the Apple store. *As an early adopter I know that I will be a test guinea pig for apple but, that's the price that I pay for being apple fan. * I do feel that the iPad does have great potential with apps like iWork and future jailbreaks. *I do own a iPhone 3gs and currently share a netbook with my girlfriend. *I have been planning on buying a laptop but, the portability and the future potential is something that I can't overlook. *The thoughts of playing tv through slingbox and using miwi from my iPhone for tethering on such a large screen is a dream come true.... * * *
I have been planniing to buy this device since the rumors started. Admittedly I will be buying with Apple dollars (I own a little AAPL stock at $12 and sold some at $200-). I bought 8 iPod Touches for children at Christmas. I expect to buy some iPads for Christmas next year.I will be pre-ordering the iPad as soon as it is available through the Apple store. *As an early adopter I know that I will be a test guinea pig for apple but, that's the price that I pay for being apple fan. * I do feel that the iPad does have great potential with apps like iWork and future jailbreaks. *I do own a iPhone 3gs and currently share a netbook with my girlfriend. *I have been planning on buying a laptop but, the portability and the future potential is something that I can't overlook. *The thoughts of playing tv through slingbox and using miwi from my iPhone for tethering on such a large screen is a dream come true.... * * *
That's the spirit!I'm getting one on a "why not" basis. Even if I end up hating it, so what? You know?

An iPad or a Touch comes with free Stanza and a library of 50K classic books. I do not have any other option to get so much value for the dollar.
The NY Times suggests that an iPad is a "Child's best friend." I believe.
Just keep her on the carpet.I'd been toying with the idea of getting my (will be 4 yrs old in June) kiddo a multitouch monitor and hooking up a cheap PC for her. But the apps and things you can do are limited.
This iPad seems more like what i want for her. She knows the iphone UI. I can even get a bluetooth kb to teach her typing hopefully.
My main concern (as with my old iphone) is her dropping it.
Amazon has pilot programs to provide text books as e-books. One will be able to have an iPad and all one's text books as e-books for less than the text books in paper.I had said yes, but I am not getting it. However, I may not use some funds from school to purchase one.

Maybe....but I don't see any GPS functionality......big mistake if that is true.
