For the life of me I can not imagine a real use I would have for an IPad. Its not portable. Its not a real computer. Yet, I find myself yearning to hold it in my meaty grasp. I have caught myself inventing reasons that I NEED to have one. I pray to the tech gods to give me the strength to resist its shinny exterior and hold out for revision 2.

I feel the same way, but don't. They just sold it as being a laptop when it's just a giant old itouch.

"I guess I can understand why you would say it's not portable or a real computer, but it really is both those things. It's super portable compared to a laptop and is much more computer-esque than things like the iphone. Apple's graphic that they made with it between the iphone and imac seems spot on. It incorporates some of the best features of those devices and finds a nice middle ground. I wouldn't call that useless, especially with the ever-expanding app store. I'm starting to sound like an Apple fan... oh god what's happening here?!
I dont think that the iPAD is useless. can someone list the reasons that the iPAD is useless? That way we can wither agree with or refute the claims. it seems to be a more convient way to access the web.I know that my iPHONE has changed my life completely. I will have to see what impact the iPAD has but I thinking that i might have a hard time putting it down.
Its okay. Most self engrossed, smug douchebags are naturally attracted to apple products. Its not your fault.
Blame the government.
By the way that was sarcasm.... mostly

Marvel Comics, iBook, Sketchbook Pro, Monkey Island. All of that, on the go. That's why you want it. And that's why i'm probably gonna buy it to.
And for me, the fact that i can go to my client and show some sketch in an attractive device that loads instantly and has WiFi to look for docs on cloud storage, if i need to.
