And me too, for exactly the same reason. The 64GB memory in effect gives he a hard drive equivalent as they said during the announcement. I don't mind AT&T with this product, as for one they have conidered the buyer, and not just what they wish they could get him to buy. I have had a...

I always buy Apple products from amazon.com. Since I am a prime member, I don't have to pay for shipping. Since I don't have to pay sales taxes for things from amazon, I save a bundle from that alone. But they always give you a good discount on the retail price, so that' another saving --...

Apple wasn't able to use the iSlate name since HP already has a device named Slate out. Even someone in Japan claims to own the iPad name, but i suspect this will go nowhere. So they came up with iPad, which to me is confusingly similar to iPod -- but maybe that is what they wanted to reinforce...

How soon will you purchase an iPad I have already requested Amazon.com to notify me when it will accept an order for the iPad, and specified the 64MB version with G3 for $828 which it is well worth. I figure it will eventually cost me over $900 but under $1,000 when all the accessories I want...

I've had a Kindle since it was first sold, with over 700 books on it (many were free) and I use it a lot. But reading the same books on my iPod Touch (which Kindle thankfully allows me to do) is much easier on my eyes, even if the size is much smaller. So I'm not worried about reading on the...

But you can order the SDK from Apple.com right now after registering as an individual developer for $99.00. The iPhone SDK now includes the iPad units, including a MacBook simulator which you would need anyway. You have to program in objective-C but there is a lot of help to do this, plus...

As best i can find about iBooks, there is no DRM digital rights management, with all books in the new standard format. Thus what is to stop you from selling the book to another iPad user the next semester, when you don't need it anymore? Of course many profs try to put out a new book every...

It's obvious that all iPod Touch/iPhone users already know how to use it -- and they love the application flexibility that is provided by all three devices. The price is not out of sight, and you get a tremendous capability even with the cheapest model. I will buy the most expensive model --...

I plan to buy the SDK but really don't know anything about it except that it includes an iPad simulator that will run on your MacBook right now. This makes it possible to develop for it now, rather than waiting for delivery of the real device, and thus interest me a lot. But I really don't...

A camera accessory was listed at announcement, but nothing further, and also haven't seen a price for it. Does anone know?
