I did notice one thing though, in case any of you are thinking about pre-ordering.

The iPad that's coming out early April will NOT ship with WI-FI. If I were you I would wait for the one that ships with WI-FI late April.

and for those of you who are considering other options

just an idea.

I got the iPad Nano that also makes phone calls. They have been out for a while.

*tomato* · 03-22-2010, 03:04 PM

I gotta tell you, I was playing with an iPod touch and these things are really cool. sigh.

Still I'm not getting any device until I decide which way I'm gonna go when I replace my cell phone (android, BB, or .... )

darthbauer · 03-22-2010, 03:43 PM

I have had a touch for a while and just got the phone this weekend. Now that I have the phone the touch is kinda useless but either way, they are both a lot of fun.

jamal1984 · 03-23-2010, 10:43 AM

i def get one later, not now since there will be bugs, battery problem...etc. It's even more awesome if you can hack it like itouch or iphone.
This will not replace a netbook or laptop, but it's good for what it is.

And yeah, if I want to play with one and have the money for it, isn't that good for YOU guys? You get to see if I like it or not.

I love being one of the first to try new technology. Are the same people posting in here going to say I shouldn't try new (and sometimes far more expensive than an iPad) things to push the technology limits on the Yaris?

I don't lose sleep over this. I get to have my fun, my way... right?

Garm,
Just so you know, Scripts is not compatible with Words. If you do word processing, it won't convert easily. Other than that, Apple is great at anything entertaining.

cali yaris · 03-23-2010, 03:55 PM

^ I use Google Docs

*tomato* · 03-23-2010, 04:21 PM

You'll be fine, Garm. I'd still wait for the one that ships out with WiFi, though.

*tomato* · 03-23-2010, 04:36 PM

Hmmm, no. Hang on

*tomato* · 03-23-2010, 04:39 PM

OK, you're right, according to that website

Wait a minute, I was at the Apple store last week, and THEY GAVE ME the flyer that says "no wi-fi" on pre-order models. I'm not making it up!! I remember discussing it with some guy in the store and we were both scratching our heads about that.

ugh

zachryboles · 03-23-2010, 04:44 PM

just preorder from the online store..... the guy at the apple store is a twit or something is shady at your local store....

*tomato* · 03-23-2010, 04:47 PM

Oh, I don't think I"ll get it. I've got my eyes on smartphones lately

So many gadgets ... so little money. Can't have them all

Yeah, they were giving out print-outs and signing people up, so I DNK. Maybe a misprint but you think they would have caught it?

*tomato* · 03-23-2010, 11:43 PM

OK. I know I'm a dork, but come on, I wasn't dreaming 2 weeks ago when I went to the apple store, and it really disturbs me when I give people erroneous info (like I did on this thread with the WIFI thing) so I went back to the Apple store on my way home today and asked if they still had the print-outs they were giving out before.

The guy I spoke to, today, said "oh, yeah, there was some confusion about that a couple of weeks ago, but what's on the website is correct"

Then he asked me if I wanted to pre-order and when I said not really he really lost interest in the conversation ;)

Anyway, they ARE shipping out with WIFI, but not with 3G. 3G will come later on in April and there is a difference in price for adding 3G to the device.

why? · 03-23-2010, 11:59 PM

apple can be so clueless it is amazing. They introduce this new product, yet do everything they can possibly think of to make it a pos.

The only reason i have an ipod is because i have the jack so i can control it through my car stereo.

we complain about the car companies doing stupid crap with products, they can't hold a candle to what apple does.

I tried Google Docs on my Mac Mini since words wasn't working with Scripts. Tried Open Office, but it would only run Scripts.
