My iPad is here!

[SoupDragon]

I wonder how you look at the screen - that's what I don't understand

What don't you get?

Thanks Soup your providing a good service for those of us living vicariously through you and your Ipad.

Said if you have to ask you'll probably never understand.

Um, you look at it with your eyes...?

It's flat isn't it? So, do you have to hold it to see it? There's no facility to angle it?

Glad to be of service

The case from Apple props it at an angle.

Sadly there is no app to sort out bickering children.

Won't the screen get scratched & dusty if you can't "close" it like a Macbook?

So, if you type with it propped up your hands have to be an angle? Just trying to picture it.

Typing on an iphone makes me want to throw it on teh floor. Maybe I'm being disenfranchised from new technology becaue my hands are too cold

Not really. No more than with a normal keyboard with those little feet at the back.

The case protects the screen.

So, like looking at teh table beyond teh keyboard to read teh screen?

Just like coddys picture but with less pussy and a shallower angle.

[snurk] even.

Right so not only do I need an ipad I also need a cat. Maybe I could get away with a rabbit, like a big house rabbit.

Just don't use a rampant one. I don't think the vibrations would be good for the iPad.

It would work with a dog perhaps, a small one.

I want one now. I have been sensible and resisted so far but now I want one. Going into town tomorrow to the Apple Store (which will be mobbed)

meh
it's just a fancy etch a sketch

Your etch a sketch must have been posher than mine.

I think a cocker spaniel is too big so it's a good job i got a case really.

The Apple store will be mad. Just order online and wait.

No, I have to take DH in with me to persuade him that we really do need one.

Can you download books onto it? That is why I want it really, was going to buy a Kindle. It was DH who suggested the iPad.
