will you be waiting in line or ordering it from the web? will there be crazy line frenzy or can i roll in a store after work and coppeth? bummed there is no preorder option...
between longreads.com and instapaper, i never lack for something to read. other than an expensive ipod/kindle, i use it for netflix and the occasional game of scrabble.
I heard you can DL textbooks on it for college courses. Is that true?
yeah, theres an Education APP.
wow, never thought about that. those rip off Barnes and Noble bookstores used to charge like $600-$700 for college textbooks each semester. and the trade in credit percentage was worse than Princeton Record Exchange's.
i guess nowadays kids could just buy an iPad and fill it with .PDFs off an academic version of soulseek.
I was extremely skeptical of the iPad at first, and still think it lacks a lot to be desired in terms of productivity/work applications (not what it was ever intended for, I think), but must say that it has legitimately improved the way I consume media. Using Flip Board in unison with Google Reader is a game changer! Also, for those who were put off by the lack of Flash support, you can view most flash videos by using the Skyfire Browser. The social media widgets are pretty useless but the rest of the browser is rather impressive. Youtube is also slowly converting many of it's videos to HTML5.
Has anyone managed to upgrade to 4.2 and then jailbreak? I'm currently on a 3.2.2 limera1n JB. Most new versions of apps are requiring at the bare minimum 4.0+. I need the Pennant app and MLB At Bat 2011 in my life a.s.a.p.
The iPad 2 looks good. I'm tempted by the A5 processor but other than that I could live without the cameras.

On the road, in an airport, at the park ??? now you can bring Wi-Fi with you wherever you go.

Fuck that.
that's not even saving you any money then. update nullified.
Netflix is fuckin wack. Most of the shit i want is disc only or not available.
Their library is crazy suspect.
Fuck a mail in cd.
Stream all that shit.
It's not that bad. I watch the first two seasons of Dexter, Weeds is on there too.
Plus they are investing most of their money into expanding their streaming library instead of licensing dvd's to mail, and expect to be a solely streaming service in the future.
Some more streaming favorites:
Eternal Sunshine
Everything is Illuminated
Prison Break
Oldboy
Black Dynamite
Wonderboys
Battlestar Galactica
A Clockwork Orange
The Shining
I have to scrape their bottom barrel for shit i like.
Too much of their shit is unavailable or cd delivery only.
My coworker was makin it seem like their tv library was deep like that. FAIL.
I did watch A Hero Aint Nothin But A Sandwich. Lamer from revenge the nerd does his thang plus the high school was Carver, the sameone in The White Shadow.
