I think Ravy has the right idea. He can't hold iPads and doesn't want to be the scapegoat if your desired model isn't there when you arrive. Not to mention that it discourages a swarm of people calling twice per day!

I got an Incase sleeve for 10.2 inch netbooks at Best Buy for $28 or so. It is as small as I think you'd want to get for iPad 2 and smart cover. Fits perfectly, and zipper is on the end so I can plug in while in the case. But in truth I suspect most 10.2 inch netbook sleeves will be similar...

I have the polyurethane one. It has a nice soft, slightly furry feel. There's no one right answer, some people love leather, some don't, and some will be cost driven. Get the one that feels right, or if things aren't clear choose one and don't look back.

Wednesday I could have bought a Verizon 32 gig at our Apple store, but declined and felt foolish later. Thursday I bought a 32 gig wifi ( which was exactly what I wanted!) at a Target store. They had received six that morning and had two left when I was there at Noon. The clerk said they were...

Tough contest between the Netflix app, and Civilization: Revolution (Sid Meier strategy game). Obviously, I use my iPad primarily for entertainment...

I own both, and I don't find the comparison as strange as some responders, though I agree they are quite different beasts. I'd used two models of Palm Treo, then a Palm Pre smart phone for years--I use them on a daily basis for web browsing and email when not traveling, and when I travel (which...

My initial goal was to quickly get some adequately entertaining video to keep me amused on airplanes and such without spending a ton of money on a per-hour basis. I downloaded a season of Star Trek: Deep Space 9 (well under a buck an hour, whee!) and two movies (The Eagle Has Landed, and...

I had BAD wifi problems initially. This despite my Palm Pre connecting with no problems to wireless feeds all over. Apple recommends that dual-band routers have their different bands set up as different wireless networks. At home I have a dual b and g band router, but I never use the b (my...

Palm Pre here. It is an excellent web browser (despite the small screen), part of the reason I chose to go with the wifi iPad....I couldn't justify paying a second wireless 3G access fee.

I love my iPad because I think it will be a great portable entertainment device for travel and home.
