i have no use for something like that right now but i think the technological concept of it is ahead of its time. 10 years from now the tablet era might be in full swing

apple is just preparing itself for the future so they can work the kinks out now and by the time tablets are a dependable item they'll have the market share because they've already been working on it for so long, this ipad will only be the precursor to something it will pale in comparison to in the future.

Don't like it. Glorified iPhone.

Ok...if you can give me the iPad, with USB peripheral support for expanded storage, wifi-connectivity to media devices so I can print/scan stuff, and make it a viable laptop replacement. Then I might consider it.

I messed with one at Best Buy the other day... it makes a ton of sense for people who stand or move around on the job... librarians, teachers, lab workers, etc.

For someone that can sit at a desk however, I can't see it being better than a standard laptop.

look, i dont think most people are buying this thing for work. I see it as mainly a media consumption device. Strictly a luxury.

I like to surf the web on my couch and it appeals to me in that way. Or, using it on a flight...etc.

i do wish:

it had flash

it had a camera for video chat.

im thinking of getting one.

      Well I should also say another caveat is positional value. You have to be careful violating that. For the scenarios you are describing, those are also things that free agency is for. Free agency should always set up the draft. Improve the roster and then go shopping for things to potentially take your roster up a notch.  Lastly, we are in scenario 2. Our roster is still not good and we have holes at most position groups. We are actually in the "BPA All Day" range.

      I'm very interested in seeing the specifics of these cases. The term "illegal gambling" makes me think this is unrelated to typical sports betting/point shaving and related to something else on the side. That kind of stuff worries me much less than something like we saw with Jontay Porter happening on a larger scale. I absolutely think the feds need to be keeping a much closer eye on this stuff given how much more sports betting is going on these days. I honestly don't care that much if it's a Calvin Ridley situation where a player is betting on league games that he's not playing in; I can see why that isn't allowed, but I don't think that presents a major threat to the integrity of the game on any kind of large scale. IMO, the larger threat to sports in general isn't a large-scale organized crime operation but a bunch of smaller operations or even just individuals who are willing to do what Jontay Porter did. He was a relatively insignificant player in the grand scheme of things, but it's entirely possible we see this type of thing more and more even at the highest levels of sports. If gambling is going to be legalized to the extent that it has been, there needs to be better regulation and a very strong set of rules in place for the sportsbooks, the bettors and for the leagues/teams themselves. I don't get the sense that is the case right now.
