The iPad has some AMAZING potential for music creation with stacks and stacks of BRILLIANT apps floating around. I <3 my iPad. Battery life is mega. Watching shit on it rules. I can wirelessly stream video content from my desktop to the iPad for watching in bed/elsewhere in the house. I buy issues of 2D art magazine on it which are awesome to read and view on the screen. I sometimes edit simple videos on it by transferring stuff I shoot on my iPhone (USB photo connectivity kit). I use it to check out photos taken on my digital camera (SD card photo connectivity kit) while I'm out and about if needs be. I write blog entries on it with the WordPress app while I'm at work sometimes and let them publish when I hit wifi next (I don't have a 3G one).
There's an ARSELOAD of useful ways to use the iPad if you do actually want to use it as a tool and not just a big iPod. The potential is massive.

I think the point of them is whatever you want it to be. That accessory just gives further usability without taking away any of the features it possesses without it, all in a slick case which it would be a good idea to have anyway.

I like the idea of it for watching movies in bed and shit, but beyond that, I guess really I am not tech savvy enough. I guess if I had my own business or some such I would have a million and one uses out in the field, make researching parts and shit pretty easy, but then I would probably go the toughbook tablet thingy

My Kindle will be arriving tomorrow or Tuesday. Already stocking it with free books from Amazon (those in the public domain, like). Weeee.

I just ordered one of these:

As previously mentioned I don't have much use for an e-reader, but at that price and with broader tablet functionality it was pretty hard to say no to.

does look exceptionally tempting.
Especially with having a Linux OS on it.
How much is shipping and all that junk?
let us know how it is once you have it.

It was free shipping when I ordered, that promo was supposed to end on the 12th but I still got free shipping clearly on my invoice so maybe you can stil get away with it. Otherwise it's normally $28.

OK, may have to give it a pass but is tempting.
Another useless toy for me to play with.
Am wondering if it has a build in web browser or you can download Firefox or the like to it?

Yup. A bit annoying that there are quite a few books I can't buy because I'm in Australia. Something about digital rights or something I guess.

Yeah, I'm also keen to see what you think of it - that's a pretty good price and I could see a lot of use out of one of those!
