You know, when iOS5 comes out, I'll have even more stuff to praise. Stay tuned! :D
What an awsome piece of kit an ipad2 is.when I was a kid I could only dream that something like this would ever exist. (I'm 55)
I so agree with you. Who would have thought.Quote:

Glad to see you like it. I debated the ipad2 or the galaxy tab. My gf got the galaxy. Hers has a nicer screen and better camera but putting music on my iPad was a breeze and the simplicity of the OS is great. I have the galaxy phone so I don't think I am missing out at all.
Nice review. It actually is the best tablet out there
Good review, I do like the iPad's and there design and simplicity!
At 50 I feel the same way. Scanning my memory, I recall some of the leaps in technology over the years, from computer systems that filled a room, to the initial boom in home computing of the early '80s. It seems to me that only now have we acquired something, in the iPad, that is truly life-changing. Where once we had to either wait for a convenient moment, or note a thought for later action, all one has to do now is reach for the iPad and transform thought into action.Quote:

His version was limited to replacing newsprint, and was in fact called the NewsPad, but obviously involved some sort of wireless capability for updating itself, since he referred to the "ever-changing headlines". He also introduced the concept of the touch screen. The user of the NewsPad would touch a headline on the device, which would then expand to fill the screen with the body of the article. The film version of 2001 went a step further and had the actors watching television broadcasts on their wireless devices. Truly visionary.
What else would we really expect from the father of Hal9000?
