My iPad

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.

    • Ickey still out? He good?
    • You're acting like Bryce put him out for the game and the week when that play happened at 4:01 in Q2. Renfrow was targeted four more times after that. Plus, a hospital ball is a poorly placed pass that puts the receiver in a dangerous position to take a big hit by being late or inaccurate.  Ball is out an on its way here. The catch is made at the 25yd line on the hash. Renfrow jumps for no reason and is airborne when he's hit. Bryce doesn't drift him over in front of the safety on the throw and as we can see from the capture that he had the right read. Could he have also waited a little longer for XL to pop up over the middle on the in route? You won't hear me disagree with that. Would have also likely netted more YAC than Renfrow would've considering positioning and momentum for both players. I like that option better than the one he took, but you're also not going to see me make 10 different threads about it like we've seen this week. 😮
    • This offense is like watching a slow bleed out when you think a merciful death has finally ended the suffering only to see a pinky flinch or hear a faint gasp of air creep from the lungs and through the dried out walls of a flaked throat, making you feel a sliver of hope and obligation to stay with the moribund patient on life support until it passes beyond the void and the undertaker begins his duties--usually around week 6.
