Did anyone order an iPad yet?

[DBall]

I have not, but I have not gotten my iPeriod yet, either...

OK Scott -- you need to focus, take some deep breaths, have a cigar, relax -- you can't have withdrawals before it even arrives

I'm all stressed cause I won't be home this weekend. I don't think it's supposed to be here till the 3rd, though. I can see why now.

Netbook FTW!

But then again, I really don't like virtual keyboards.

Bingo, history teaches us to always wait for at least the first revision before buying new tech (not just from Apple, from all manufacturers)! Dan Williamson was just in the office, at your old desk actually, showing his to a bunch of us. Nice unit, significantly heavier than I expected it to be (especially compared to a Kindle). Basically is it just a touch that's been run through the Xerox on 500% enlarge. Internet and pictures are much more viewable than on either the iPhone or iTouch but it's going to be interesting to see if the iPad wins mass market appeal or only really manages to achieve Apple fanboi penetration like all of Apple's products that don't start with "iP".

My pad is still in China. It only took two days for the billing info to go through.
It's killing me.

Scott, I can tell by the way you typed your message that you have the shakes pretty bad... You really need to do something about those withdrawal symptoms

I don't even have and IPod let alone an Iphone or an IPad.

I can't see myself in that much to use the internet or read a book when I'm "on the go". I can't use it at work, I'd get fired, internet/cell phone usage on the clock is NSFW. I have a basic cell phone with a camera, Mp3 player, and a full color screen; no internet,GPS, level, Apps etc.... I call it "my dumb phone".
I myself am a simple guy. I already pay $50 a month for internet at my house, so I can't see paying any more to use it outside my home (on an IPad or cell).

I am not knocking any of the "I" devices, they are just not my cup of tea,
Got better things to spend my money on like cheap wemen and expensive alcohaul (or is it the other way around ¿)

The iPad arrived at my house today, but I'm in Ohio.
Sofaman (Scott) was good enough to run down to my house and get it off the porch and put it away.
Can't wait to play with it tomorrow. I'm most excited to watch ball games on it, I just got a subscription to MLB.com. I'll try to do a review wheni figure out if it sucks or not. I don't have any expectations to mention, aside from seeing how well it handles streamed media, beit from the intersne or from my network.

Got one today at store for wife. Putting it throught its passes now. MLB TV is much better than on the phone.

In short, this is really more about how it does it rather than what it does. It's a game changer and is only going to get better over time.

It handles streamed data like a BOSS!

My buddy is one of the graphics developers for the project and he brought the 64GB version in on Friday to let me play with it. I watched Netflix on it and it was awesome.

I probably would not buy one, just because I don't need it, but it's pretty rad.

The dictionary implemented within the iBook app is amazing. I could see it being really helpful, especially for scholarly reading for school but even for just any book. I know I'm often hesitant to go grab a dictionary for words I don't know, especially when you can sometimes get by with using context clues, but having the dictionary automatically find the word right there for you is great.

here is a fairly extensive review of the iPad with a video in the middle

[shilala]

I haven't put my iPad down since I got it. I could not possibly be more pleased.
I've used it mostly for surfing and streaming video, but I'm leaning more on it for working every day.
It is the most comfortable and pleasurable web appliance I've ever experienced, and I've really not begun to use it in a fashion it's capable of.
I'm looking forward to reading some books that I've put off forever. The ibooks interface is incredible.
I really wish you guys could all take it for a spin, just for the cool factor. It's fun.

Thank you iPad. AAPL as of today closed just under $240/share.
