So who here wants an iPad? These are really awesome little devices... I gave my details to the Apple Store in the Waterfront in CPT and they will let me know when i can get mine..

According to 702 it will probably only be closer to fourth quarter of the year. I'll wait for the HP/Microsoft/Samsung clone that can run Flash and Java properly and will be half the price.

Oh boy, another electronic gadget. Just what I don't need. No thanks, I'll pass on this one. All the techno geeks, please rush to buy yours now before it becomes cheaper, faster and with multi tasking capabilities.

multi-tasking is coming in the next release of the apple os, for both the iphone and ipad. its only a software upgrade, so existing phones and ipads will be able to upgrade... The ipad is a very easy to use computer that will benefit the non-computer-geeks the most...

I jailbroke my iPhone first thing,.. what a piece of carp otherwise,.. Cracked, it's a pretty awesome piece of gadgetry,.. As for the iPad!? well,. if it can do what my mbp can do, offer me something more than just a giant iPhone,. well then it's well worth the investment surely,. At this point though i think they really under-catered to their clients needs with this product,.. Jobs was out on a limb, he made it for his vrou!? she was like moaning all the time at him,. but there is no device for me darling!! Thus the iPad was boorn,..

yes, i think that would work... would they send overseas though? I think grey market is legal, only issue is that the apple store in SA is not geared to support any faulty products yet, so if one gets them and they not working there could be issues... i think apple might not support these imports in SA because of their distributor warranty... i'm not too sure.
