Review makes me seriously look at the refurbished 32 gb ipad for 430... very very tempting.

Thirded. Bathroom for during a shower. Freaking awesome.

My problem with digital content on apple TV and indeed all digital content is the price. It's freaking absurd, and people are still wasting their money on it. 4.99 to rent a high definition movie? Are you freaking kidding me? Redbox has blu-rays for 1.25. 19.99 to own a HD movie. The blu-ray is on sale at target for 14.99, maybe even 9.99! 7.99 for a paperback book? The bookstore sells it for 5.99. And in every single case, I have the option of loaning it to friends or trading it in. It's -LESS- secure for the cheaper version. It's higher quality for the cheaper version. And you know what? The return on the digital version is MUCH higher.

I find this is something only I use apparently, but.... Before 9 if you typed something into the search bar, iTunes would only play the search results. In 9, it'd play your search results and then just go off the grid and start playing your whole library regardless of what was showing. SO VERY ANNOYING. Now it seems to work as it should have all along again. It only plays the search results.

Oh I -love- it. It works great for me. What kills me is how ridiculously slow the browser is. It hangs constantly. Pages load slow constantly. I absolutely love the address bar. It kept me trying to use that buggy ass slow piece of bloatware much longer than I would have otherwise.

Orange!

I'd much rather see ads than pay the outrageous pricing model they have going... 10 bucks for a newly released book that sells for 30 makes sense. But for an older book that you can find in paperback? They're charging list price. You only pay list prices for paperbacks in airports.

It'd have to be between page flips. If you try sticking an ad at the bottom of my reading page in iBooks, there's no way in hell I'd consider reading it. The screen real estate just is not there.

@darrell It's not too bad... It's kinda goofy with goals being scored in that old school type of hockey game. I saw someone compare the control scheme to the genesis days, and I think that's probably highly accurate of the whole experience.

The most striking feature I saw when playing with their preview week was while downstairs at work where I only had an edge connection, I was able to stream a TV show. It's a shame that their library is so very restricted. No True Blood, no Supernatural, no Vampire Diaries, no Smallville, no Chuck, no... well almost anything I'd want to watch actually.
