That's what mute is for. ;)

haha yeah of course... that's how I managed in the end.

But I just feel like I'm missing out on all the good "Hitler responds to"s by understanding him, being all Hitler-y, in the German language.



@latino
I'm planning on getting one as well, if only for making my websites look and work really nice on it. And maybe developing apps...

No USB really sucks, but at least the connection at the bottom is open so there will defiantly be more uses to that in the future.


i would have liked to be have been able to sync all my media that I already have on my laptop with it with it through itunes

I'm pretty sure i read that it does exactly that... Also it's running the same OS the iPhone does, so why wouldn't they use what they built with iTunes. Am I missing something, link?

how will it link?
i have a huge library (by my standards) on my imac, which I can view on my macbook from anywhere in the house, I can plug my laptop into my TV and place it under the cabinet and control itunes with an app on my iphone, so scroll through movies and music from my phone to view on my TV....i can see how the tablet will connect to my other libraries on the macbook and imac.... but how can i have it stored there? like the music on my iphone? without downloading or buying it? if i wanted to sync with my imac...and store music, I use the USB connection....im not aware if you can through bluetooth, if you can ive never been able to get it to work..

I have looked at this more and more, and decided that if it was around $250-300 for the 16 GB I would think about getting one.   That is what we paid for my wifes laptop with much higher specs and the ability to run whatever I want.  I would pay the same for a crippled machine that has a touchscreen. 

I just saw the 3G rates ($15 for 250MB, $30 for Unlimited) and they only make sense if you really have to have it (which fanboys in the US will just have to have it).  Especially when you notice the 3G version is $130 more than the non-3G to start with.  If you already have an iPhone, that is an extra $15-30 a month just to have a big version of some of what you already have.

You should scotch them together and fabric a MacBook Pro.

You have to buy at lesst 2 of them.. That's the only way to run 2 apps at once anyway.

Gizmodo comes through with the tough answers

How bad is the online porn viewing experience hurt by the lack of flash?
Well, that depends on what sites you like. Most porn sites support the iPad and the iPhone/iPod touch because they use standard MPEG4 video. You can watch our guide for porn on the iPhone here.

I found out that is the non-contract rate as there will be no contracts for iPad.  That's good and bad I guess.  Contracts usually are cheaper than month-by-month but tie you in for 2 years at a time.  I think I would rather have the option of either.
