I checked the specs against what I want to do and concluded that I hardly need a new fully equipted computer (iMac or Macbook)which I considered to buy. The iPad does the job 99%, and on top it does it anywhere I am. My satisfaction is still increasing. As an example, I'm reading now Moby Dick. This is not easy for a German due to the old style english, the amount of special sailor terms, not to mention that the author is discussing a lot of science and philosophy of his time. With the iPad any missing information, any unknown word is only a finger tap away. It opened a whole new world for me. This is just an example, I use it a lot for business too. Usually I've read my emails and MS-Office attachements before my company laptop finished booting. It is not perfect, no device will ever be, but it is the best available now. But of course, video calls are not on my list....</p>Noa commented on 'Shopped out and homesick'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0133f3312ec9970b2010-08-20T11:54:33Z2010-08-20T11:54:33ZNoaBoohoohoo, don't really feel sorry for you!!!<p>Boohoohoo, don't really feel sorry for you!!!</p>Yaron commented on 'Shopped out and homesick'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef013486516220970c2010-08-19T21:14:37Z2010-08-19T21:14:37ZYaronFirst on the agenda is an iPhone 4, then a next-generation iPad with all the accoutrements.<p>First on the agenda is an iPhone 4, then a next-generation iPad with all the accoutrements.</p>Ilana-Davitata commented on 'Shopped out and homesick'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef013486515123970c2010-08-19T20:57:23Z2010-08-19T20:57:23ZIlana-Davitatahttp://ilanadavita.wordpress.com/I agree with you about the will power.

<p>I think we are discussing a USB <b>host</b> not a USB slave. Like a PC and a Mac has. So, for example, plugging a USB drive into a PC makes it appear as a drive. But plugging an iPad with a USB adapter makes <b>IT</b> appear as a drive, not the thing being plugged into the iPad being a drive. Huge difference!<br />

USB port- apple hasn't ever had a builtin usb port in any ipod so it's not likely, but there is a usb adapter</p>Aharon commented on 'Shopped out and homesick'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0133f32844d1970b2010-08-18T23:24:45Z2010-08-18T23:24:45ZAharonhttp://www.alluregraphics.comTarget and Staples and Costco oh My!<p>Target and Staples and Costco oh My!</p>Mark commented on 'Shopped out and homesick'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0134864bb463970c2010-08-18T23:06:28Z2010-08-18T23:06:28ZMarkhttp://twitter.com/MarkSoFlaCamera, yes, mic, yes, will very likely be in iPad 2.
