Too big to function well as a PMP, yet not functional enough to be a netbook.
I'm always impressed and amazed it's managed to sell so well in spite of these factors.]]>Jul 19th 2010 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/
I'm getting concerned about the Adam. Those last few blog posts on Notion Ink's site were kind of douchy. We may have some vapor on our hands. Speaking of vapor: Engadget, can you chase down an update on the ICD Gemini?]]>Jul 19th 2010 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/
Actually the iPad was supposed to fail based on the gurus here! ]]>Jul 19th 2010 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/Jul 19th 2010 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/
Very good for Apple. They're still struggling to meet demand in the countries it is already available in. I have one, and my brother likes it so much that we went to the Apple store yesterday (Trafford Centre) to get but they were sold out and they said the waiting list was so long that it would more than likely be a couple of weeks until he would get one.]]>Jul 19th 2010 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/Jul 19th 2010 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/Jul 19th 2010 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/Jul 19th 2010 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/

I remember you. Yeah, your the guy 10 years ago that said cell phones, HDTV's, and laptops were pointless. ]]>Jul 19th 2010 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/
If the resolution out to a monitor was higher and I could use a mouse when remote connecting to my Win7 desktop it would replace my laptop for work related tasks.

That should be task one for Apple increase the resolution out to at least 1920x1200. Also think the remote desktop clients should add some kind of mouse emulation drivers to allow connection via bluetooth or USB.

On the hardware side I want a dock that contains multiple USB ports, charging capability, video out, and a usb port for sync to a computer.

The first release of the iPad in my book gets a 9.5. It could be better but what it is gets high marks in my book.]]>Jul 19th 2010 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/
By "hitting" these countries I assume you mean their stores will have local stock?]]>Jul 19th 2010 8:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/
haha its not as easy as putting in your card number and hitting submit. ]]>Jul 19th 2010 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/

Much like the iphone 4!]]>Jul 19th 2010 8:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/Well, I totally forgot I had a laptop after I imported my iPad from the US, and I honestly don't even remember when I last booted the laptop. So apparently, not everyone has a usage pattern that fits it, but I sure do.

Hopefully they'll finally open up the iBooks store this friday as well, since there have only been a bunch of free copyleft titles in it up till now. I'd love to buy and read books on my iPad, but right now it's practically useless over here, unless you like reading classic novels (which I don't).]]>Jul 19th 2010 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/Jul 19th 2010 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/19/ipad-hits-nine-more-countries-this-friday/
