I won this one, buying one is such an indulgence for a guy like me - although I have been considering it for weeks, as figuring out where to store books once I read them has become a real issue for me. I've had an iPod Touch for a couple of years and it's been great, this thing just takes everything I love about that and makes it much more usable.

I think iPad will have printer support in the next OS release. The new Droid could be great too, I have no experience with it.

Panthers8192, now that I have had it for a month in use at my house and at hotels etc - yes I would pay for one. It's that useful to me. The idea of having a laptop in the bed does not appeal to me at all, but this thing is like having a book on your nightstand that does 100x more. I like seeing whats up on facebook before I go to bed on a decent screen with the ability to post some text - my blackberry has FB but it's slow, clunky and hard to read. If your PC is your SUV and your phone is your moped, this is your sports car that when you don't have to do a ton of things, works great and is a blast to use.

That's a very good description/analogy CWG. I could see the iPad being very useful for "work" for someone like a teacher, lab tech, librarian, nurse, etc. who has to stand and walk around a lot. For people like me that sit and work, you can't replace a laptop/desktop... but at home just goofing online, reading, etc. I could see it being perfect.

Those new droid tabs look cool too... I think Samsung already has one out...

the only thing I would be worried about is battery life. I am amazed on how long the battery lasts on this thing. I am sure they made it that big (and heavy) because people like me bitched so much about the iPod Touch battery.

I will have camera envy, however the new iPad will have that as well I think.

What's great about these devices is that they are making computing more natural and less techy - if you are willing to deal with a more restrictive subset of features.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
