Yes you do want an ipad
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 buildup 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 verification of "oh yeah I can use it for what I've been planning to 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 conceiveone of the ways Apple could make this device complimentary to the iPhone is this. However in this day and age we need to know everything immediatelythat 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. Then two ways to do it a) have message forwarding on the phone and you adopt the iPad as the destination it's sitting on my desk and if a text, email, whatever comes to the phone blip it pops up on my iPad straightforward to read and dismiss if it's not important and without disarray my workflow alot b) Once the link is active if the iPhone is running a process, iTunes, Safari, etc. 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 gigantic screen/keyboard.
Now let'sContemplate at some of the feasible uses for the ipad now that we know we need one.
