If you do have an iPad, please specify which one exactly and maybe a (self taken) picture of it

At the moment the iPad is really just a giant iPod Touch, so I'm waiting for the iPad G2 which should have a camera in the front, and some other things which I'm considering

Do you own or going to buy an iPad?

Definitely NO !!

why do i need those things?
if i buy one now...1 year later theres a new type and the ipad you have  is out of style...
If something happens too your ipad like your ipad wont turn on you might as wel throw it away.. cause no one will help you


so i dont recomend them....as long as i have my old mp3 player from 2007 im happy...
for the rest...NO...i wont buy one...never!!

It's supposed to be a pseudo laptop, yes? So maybe Apple's forgotten why laptops fold. To protect the screen.

Given Apple's track record with touch screens and fragility...

Plus I think someone said it won't support Flash. You're kidding, right?

[--tractorman--]

I have flash on my iPod Touch

[McGherkin]

Really?

As in you can watch animations?

[--tractorman--]

I can watch videos and stuff in safari so i guess so, post a link and i'll try on my ipod

iPad does not come with flash, but there is a hack that installs it. http://www.slashgear.com/ipad-gets-flash-with-frash-hack-video-0592744/ (not easy and not perfect and might void the warranty)

I wouldnt know what to use the iPad for myself. If I got it it would just be for the "geek-factor", but as far as the iPad goes the geek-factor is rather low - it's more of a trend/style object. Apple alienating Adobe/Flash is a one reason why I wont get it. I'll wait for windows/android/chrome based pads to come from other brands and might pick one up then - if I can find something to use it for, of course.

They should get an Flash hack for Iphone..
I've search'd in cydia, Without luck

[dodweb]

Seems like the iPhone 4 and the 3GS can benefit from the Frash-hack too "soon", but not the first ones due to some hardware incompatibilityissue.

[RMS Canada]

Why bother...I don't need one.

Na...would never even consider it. Waste of money in my opinion. For one, they're expensive, two, if you want something as large as that to work with you'll just buy a laptop, three, no doubt they'll be very fragile, and four, can you imagine trying to actually operate one? like having it on your lap or something? You wouldn't be able to see the screen - having one hand trying to hold it up and another trying to tap the numbers in?...naa....waste of money I think. Daft things just made to make apple some money purely because people like the Iphone...

Jack.

I always thought Apple just stuck the plans for an iPod Touch on a photocopier and hit 'Enlarge 4x'

Exactly, its just an oversized ipod touch, i messed around with one in the store acts like the touch feels like it (just bigger) and even has the home button on the bottom, waste of money in my opinion
