I'm waiting for the 3G model, which will be out in late April.
I'm thinking I'll wait for the 2nd gen. Went 1st gen with the iphone, and seemed like the 2nd gen was a lot better (with 3g/gps). Although I'm tempted to stop by an apple store this weekend to take a look.
"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

The only reason I didn't get the original iPhone was because it was sold without subsidy - basically you bought it at full price, and I was not in the mood to plop down $400-$500 for a 4GB-8GB iPhone AND be stuck in a 2 year contract.
Once it was sold at a more reasonable $200-$300, (8GB-16GB) then I went for the iPhone 3G.

iPad mini was a joke used on The Soup with Joel McHale.
Said from a user on a message board typed from a computer.
I'm not an "early adopter." Don't see the need when the first one is usually shit compared to the stuff that comes out later. However I, personally, don't see a problem with people who prefer to camp on street corners to get the latest video game console, computer, electronic book reader, etc. People used to camp out for concert tickets, new albums, movies etc. I could think of a hundred different things that are more harmful to be "addicted" to than wanting a new gadget.

Well i dont have an i phone, but i do have a smart phone sp lets compare those 10 things...
1. memory - Yep, my phone is expandable to 32 gigs
2. ibooks - yep i can read pdf's on my phone, ipad will have a file format that only it can read
3. screen res - well the ipad wins here with 1,024x768
4. keyboard - mine works fine as it is, i do't need a bigger one
5. exclusive apps - wow... more shit that you have to pay apple for
6. large screen area - well obviously... it is bigger isn't it do not see why it is an advantage
7. Cellular Internet Service With NO Contract - would like to see how this one will work down here in australia, cant see it happening
8 - More Viewing Options - they are really looking for 9 things now arent they
9 - more speed - yeah it is quicker, but at the moment my phone is underclocked and could run at the same processor speed
on top of all of that, i can view flash websites, and most of all, MY PHONE CAN MULTI-TASK
Didn't buy one (recently got an iPhone), but I DID have my first real life sighting. A guy in the hotel lobby where I was staying had the box opened in his lap yesterday. The device was switched on. It was pretty. The next time I'm in an Apple store I plan to play with one. If money were no object I'd have one in a second.

Despite the Huffington Post article, I don't see the iPad as anything other than a bigger iphone. And why would I want to carry around something that bulky. I have an iPhone, but I think a lot of people have drunk the kool aid on the iPad. It just doesn't seem worth it to me. And since you can only use it on wifi at this point, I wouldn't even consider it if I didn't have the iphone.

I don't have an iPhone, but I have the Android OS on a G1 with a similar size screen and I can say that I HATE using internet on it. It's too small.. I could see the iPad as good for lounging around the house and business use.

That would make a funny SNL skit.

...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
ipods, zunes, droids, what have you, do the job of portability just fine.
Laptops are bulkier that the portable units, but have way more capability.
I really dont see the function or advantage of an "Ipad".
It is very light. Laptops can be awkward when moving around. I think if nothing else, the iPad gets an A for ease of use and comfort factor.
It's just very simplistic.. for the person who said they can read books on their phone, I can too and it SUCKS!
I could definitely see this being awesome for reading.
