Why you need an ipad
I was listening to the podcast and I think one thing that has to be said is Apple is smart because of all the plugging surrounding it for months now alot of people have been pre-meditating about what place the tablet would fill without even know much about it. So it's not like "ok we have it now what will I do with it", most people already had the use of it planned for months this was just confirmation of "oh yeah I can use it for what I've been make arrangementsto use it for". I didn't even have to think about it, last night was a prime example for me, my MB Pro is in the shop and I didn't want to take home my netbook to watch the podcast but watching it on my phone although it's better than not watching it doesn't give me the same level of emmersion.
Also like I was saying in another thread I envisionone of the ways Apple could make this device complimentary to the
iPhone is this. I don't know about others but I hate when I'm working and my phone is in my pocket and I get an email or text message. However in this day and age we need to know everything right off the batthat is what I end up doing alot of times per day. So what they should do is to have the iPhone and iPad link together whether through Wifi, BT or it's own link. the messages get relayed to the
iPad. Also with the same token if I have the iPad in my lap and I'm reading the message on my phone I just swipe it and it flies into the iPad and I can reply with the bulky screen/keyboard.
