This. make a new thread in two days telling us how it's going

Yes, get an ipad. So you can do fewer things than any cheap laptop can do. But oh wait, you can carry it around a bit easier. It's just so useful isn't it? In the history of useful things, the ipad has to be right up there as one of the most useful.

Edit: Let's face it the tablet has been around fucking forever and if it weren't for Apple's marketing ability the ipad wouldn't be worth shit. All style, no substance.

Wow, lots of hate. I don't use an iPad very much, but I think that it's a great product for multiple reasons:

1. Although tablets have been around for a long time, the iPad was the first one that was actually usable. Being forced to use a stylus on a super-low resolution black/white screen is not a good user experience.
2. Many people only use the Internet for basic stuff -- web browsing, checking email, buying shit, etc. The iPad does all of this in a very small form factor.
3. If you're a user that fits into the category above, you probably also don't know how to use computers very well. The iPad is very easy to use -- basically, a simple computer for people that aren't good with computers. And it's very hard to really screw up your iPad -- you can't accidentally delete the OS directory, for instance.

I have an iPad, but I mainly use for reading ibooks, and that's mainly just when I'm traveling. It's awesome for traveling, but considering that I work in the computer field the iPad doesn't meet my everyday needs as a user. But I know plenty of people that really only need an iPad and love it for that reason.
