Yup. If you're unable to make your own decisions, and have to ask him, don't buy an ipad

Bit about the laptop do apply to me, though. If I already didn't have a MacBook, I'd be all over it as I only do actual work on my iMac.

Moar good commentary.

For some reason, I like the evolutionary adaptation metaphors.

The adaptation article is very good--provided that the iPad doesn't suck.

Humans have proven suck adaptation in the past. Look at the eighties.

Apple tried to charge my CC for the iPad order today and Citibank initially bounced it, apparently because Apple Store orders are a huge fraud vector. Anyway, things are moving!

my charge went through...tho it's just a hold at this point, ont a real charge

One of mine went through on my debit card today as well.

I'm reading on macrumors that this has happened a quite a few people using a Citibank card.

Mine is a pending or hold on my Chase card now.

Yes, highly sophisticated algorithm clearly, 'cause it's not like I've ever bought anything from Apple before on that card!

Has anyone found a Case that can be purchased now? I was hoping to have some kind of case the day I get mine as I fly out the next day for a couple of weeks and would like to have some sort of case as the Apple one will show up after I am gone.

I'd just pick up some sort of soft sleeve for now Jeff to hold you over until the real (Apple or otherwise) cases are out.

I will probably keep mine in my 13" notebook case until the cases are available.

I have a case for an old 12" Vaio that I will try to find. Should be a decent fit.

I'm going to snuggle mine tenderly against my chest all day long.

I just noticed your new sig, Hoppy. Didn't realise there were any other Gomez fans around here!

I picked up a silicone skin from Accessories, iPod, iPhone, Zune, Toys, Gifts, Sporting Goods, Samsung, LG, Blackberry & More , which I ordered on the 17th and it arrived on the 24th. It looks decently made, and should protect it until my Apple case comes in.

Wonder what that cost?

Do experienced iPhone/touch users recommend a screen protector? If so, what brands?

Isn't Apple now discouraging screen protectors?

I use the one that came with my switcheasy case and Steve never said a word about it to me.

He was too busy having a leg cross-off with Eric!
