MobileMe is a place to store photos, back-up your apps or drive, and have up to eight (I think,) email addresses. I use it, I like it.

[Darth Denkay]

Yes, but like Linus, will wait for the second or third gen, lower prices, bugs worked out. When I synched my iPhone today I noticed a new feature on itunes - it now shows which of my apps are available for the iPad - at last count 4 out of 117 - another reason to wait.

But yeah, one of these days...

My Motorola Razr is finally dying and I've decided that once the iPhone 4 comes out, I'm getting it. After reading the features I figure it'll be worth it. It's unfortunate it's still part of AT&T (who announced the recent cap on GB but it may still be fine):

Sweet! I order the iPhone this morning (after fighting for 3.5 hours trying to do an order). I should get it next week (hopefully, I can convince AT&T to route it to my work location).

[Chancie]

I kind of want an iPhone.

[waxnrope]

I have an early macbook pro ... the ones that the batteries and power cords die often. other than that, I love it ... well, I've worn out the "e" and "i" keys completely, but I know where they are on the board *shrugs*. There is also an iPod, nearing 4 years old.

Recently, I started to buy an iPhone, but was determined to rid myself of AT&T forever, so I bought a Droid on sale at Best Buy. I can't figure out most of the functions, and the "instructional" booklet is a joke. So, I am going to make myself go back to BB and get bit by bit instructions on how to save a phone number, etc. I will say that the Droid takes fabulous photos with 8 mp available for use.

I am thinking that I will probably need to upgrade and get a new macbook pro next year. This one is my first ... I always wanted one because of the A-V features, but had to use a pc for work. Even with the lousy battery and cord life, which I understand is no longer a problem, I wouldn't give up the MB for anything! The iPod, however, I can live without... just not that technically savvy and it sits around for an occasional use.

[Linus]

If you need a PC for work and want a MacBook, then invest in my company's product: Fusion. This allows you to run Windows XP/Vista/7 (you'll have to buy those OSes separately) on your MacBook better than the PC hardware.

I missed this whole thread. I did buy one on the day it came out.

I use it a fair amount, but I don't read on it. After taking it on a ten day trip and leaving my Kindle at home for the first time I really missed the Kindle.

What would you like to know?

I was so good. I made it 12 hours without pre-ordering a new iPhone 4. I caved. I suppose I could just not pick it up, but what are the chances of that?

shh.

You don't use the Kindle app? I want to get the iPad so I can use it for the Kindle app (I use it on my iPod right now and wouldn't mind having the iPad for that). I know a few of my colleagues are using it for presentations (PPTs). I decided to hold off until it gets to 2Gen.

Did you manage to get the white or black iPhone 4?

I'm happy with my blackberry. I dont know how I ever lived without a smart phone. I have a mini pc I use mostly for Kindle. I couldnt see paying all that money for a kindle reader when I can load it on a mini and still have internet access. I love it.

You're probably right.

I tried it. I read a lot. And there are a couple of issues with reading on the iPad. First, it's heavy. Compared to the iPad the kindle is light as a feather and easy to hold in one hand. Even in a bookcase it's lighter. Second, it's back-lit. Which presents a couple of issues. Most notably - just try to read it outside in the sun. Or even on an overcast day. Good luck. Even in a well lit room it can be difficult. Finally, if you read for hours at a time, as I do, you'll wind up with some pretty serious eye fatigue. I'll not give up my Kindle until there's a better reading experience.

The iPad is great for a number of things, reading just isn't one of them.

I pre-ordered the 32gb black.

I adore my iphone. When I think of a future world in which I will no longer have one, I get sad. I need to buy an otterbox for it.

I have an artist friend who just got an ipad and he's done some AMAZING art on it and he loves it.

My latest install was Qrushr Girls. I think it's more meant for women who are single, but the thing I find awesome about it is that it has a sort of gaydar built into it - it uses your current location and tells you what other lesbians you are near. I wish there were one for LGBTQ that didn't have this weird hookup/relationship energy - but just functioned more in a pride/networky way. I downloaded it to check out how the radar worked though, and there are definitely other people in my area who say, "I'm happy in a relationship - just wanted to be on the map" so it sounds like people are subverting its purpose a bit.

Damnit I want real-ass gaydar on my iphone now.

My current favorite iphone app is redlaser. You use your camera as a barcode scanner and it does price comparisons locally and online. If you scan a food item's barcode it also gives you the nutritional values and food allergens. You can also use it to scan barcodes of books and see which local library has them.

It's AWESOME!

I have an iPod and would like and iPhone.

Oh and I want one of these, badly.

thanks, Linus. I have the macbook pro, so can run windows, but at home, I only use the mac part, the windows is just idle now ... no need for it at all at the moment. I just wish there was Publisher for mac (maybe there is now?), for some reason, I did really well with that app and I do miss it.
