Re: Apples new Ipad.

I don't really get the device, maybe the 2nd generation of it will improve or there will be some killer app. Using it for web browsing is stupid, since it doesn't support Adobe Flash. You might not realize how many things use Flash until you use on iPhone or the iPad. Doing work on it doesn't seem too practical without any multitasking. If you want to lay in bed or in an airport or car or restaurant and look something up quick, read some news, or browse they web, then the iPhone works great. This thing seems too big to carry with you all the time, pull out on the fly, and seems like it would send out a big "steal me" in public. It would probably work great for students, if all their textbooks could be replaced with it. My wife uses the Kindle ebook reader app on her iPhone.
