It represents far better value than that other piece of shit does.

You should wait til end of this year where OS 4 will be implemented into it, which supports multitasking (though limited) and probably a front camera for iChat...
For iPhone, yes.
But for iPad, it's end of this year.
I'm unsure you'll be able to upgrade to OS 4 because of iPad hardware specs...

Not bothered about cost really. I want to have a play with one, buggered if I'm waiting till the end of the year.
I also doubt very much Apple would be stupid enough to make OS4 incompatible with the current iPad. That would piss a fuckton of people off.
Anyway...if iPad 2 comes out, iPad 1 becomes the g/f's iPad (if it's worth the upgrade etc)
Serious?
I'm unsure, sorry.
I played with one.
It's ok.
It's a little heavy to hold.

OS4 for iPad is scheduled for autumn, so a little earlier than the end of the year.
And it will work on the current iPads, I have no doubt about this at all. OS4 multitasking works on iphone 3GS so its bound to work on iPad, and there arent going to be new models of iPads for some time.

For video chat, it's handy.

Well I have no way to be sure when the next models may come out, but it would be surprise me a lot to see them before 2011. Maybe if sales were horrible and their research indicated that everyone was waiting for a front camera then they would speed up their plans, maybe they would want something new for the Christmas market, but generally Id expect at least 12 months between models.

Got to be worth a go, surely?
Different rooms of the house, both frenziedly rubbing one out, like randy monkeys? It'd spice things up, that's for sure.

And even if you did, you could use your MacBook anyway!

£10 a month for O2's 1GB per data plan. Sounds good to me.

Just out of interest, I use my iphone a little bit, for lunchtime browsing or odd lookups quickly...
My data usage in nearly 2 years is... 1067MB.
So yes, 1GB a month will be more than sufficient.

I wonder how many will use the iPad outside their home?
My friend in the States told me he've already seen some are used in the subway

I fully intended to use it outside my home, and I really couldn't give a fuck what you think.

Yeah, you know what - I might as well. I'll end up buying one anyway, I can feel it, so I might as well do it now.

Saw a girl in Starbucks with one this morning.
People use laptops on trains/buses/starbucks/park benches etc.. why shouldn't they use iPads in the same way??

Best place for one I would have thought - laptops, you end up elbowing people, but phones are too small to do anything serious with.
I'm not too sure why tbh. Apple's marketing seems fairly restrained compared to the past if anything - there's nothing as ambitious as the 1984 ad, nothing as iconic as the ipod silhouettes, nothing as annoying as the 'I'm a Mac' campaign. It seems almost, whisper it quietly, pretty functional and underplayed if anything
As for progress, they seem to be doing alright for themselves. Laptops sales up, ipod and iphone a raging success, ipad doing pretty darn well for a new product. Not sure what else you could expect.
