    Anybody gettin' one? I'm a MAC freak, but I think it is overkill! About 4 or 5 of my boys are picking theirs up tomorrow.

    Thinking of getting one, I'd wait for the "3G" version though.

    On the Jimmy Fallen show (4/2/10), they had a guest that showed off the iPad. The guest said the only one drawback with the new apple product is that it can only load one application at a time. So if you are writing a paper, you can't accept/send an ichat message out. That sucks.

    It's almost as if it was designed by some old fogey who didn't realize that writing a paper requires simultaneous ichatting.

    Friend of mine bought one and showed it to me today. I wasn't overly impressed.

    The iPad has kinks. Wait until the second revision of the product. I bet that version is much better.

    The six Davies sisters are all older than Ray and Dave, so probably not these days.

    I'm going to wait for them to get all the public feedback on it and make a much better one.

    I will be getting one, debating on the 3g model since it includes a GPS functionality.

    I think they look very nice. I get one when the newer technology comes around and they're $100.

    I'm sure they already have the better one. They just want to make more money by selling a basic one first and then make more money for selling the new and improved one.
