I picked this up a few years ago on Xbox Live. It was fun both solo or against others on Live.

Good to see the iPad being put to good use. I had an idea a few days ago where they could be used in museums to give background information about exhibits. Perhaps how the exhibit was built, where it came from, the history behind what the exhibit is about.
Yeah, I know, people sometimes destroy what doesn't belong to them. But I was thinking more along the lines of having a good faith attitude where people took care of stuff that was loaned to them.

Could also be good for Realtors. If someone is shopping for a new home, a Realtor could whip out the iPad and show them what else is in the area. Give a virtual tour of the houses up for sale. Show what is in the surrounding area on the map in relation to the house, such as schools, transportation, shopping, and show the route from the house to the home buyers job.

While the iPad would never take the place of actually touring a house. It could save lots of time for the buyer as well as the Realtor. If something looks interesting then they can have a look. If not then they can pass or put it on the back burner. Maybe even if it is something that the buyer may be interested in, they can make a note in the program that will remind them that the buyer may be interested and the program could remind them later about that interest.

I think he covered the mustache up for the video. If you look at the video closer you can still see the outline of the mustache.

Either way, pretty impressive. If only because you have to have your timing down or everything is screwed. Then would come the long walk of shame off the stage.

I tried it last night. It seemed a bit sluggish. Not for turning pages in the book. But navigating around the application. I also didn't see any place to make adjustments in screen brightness in the app. But then again, it was late and I was tired. I'll try looking through it again some other time.

I have to agree. The guy that (may still work for Apple) that sold me mine, um, um. Well, I can't remember his name. But he was really nice. Well, until I had to sign for purchase on the portable POS with my finger because he didn't have a stylus. But other then that it was a rip roaring good time.
Hmm, I know the guy was wearing an Apple t-shirt. I'll need to see if anyone fits that description the next time I walk by the Apple store...

But honestly. If there is a market that will support "the hot item" being sold for twice the retail price, then so be it. While I never even thought of putting my iPad on Ebay. And would never think of paying more then retail price for anything up to the present. That doesn't mean that nobody should not have the privilege of paying out the nose for something.

As for not seeing the person that sold you the item again. Pretty much the only sales person that I've kept in touch with after a sale has been my realtor. Oh, and some guy as Lowes that sold me a generator one year would say hi when I stopped in the store.

...and be able to make phone calls on your cell phone.

Yep, sounds like a plan to me...

It sounds more like ATT is hold their customers hostage then giving them great service.
I know when I was tired of the poor sound quality and dropped calls, I just left. The hell with the ETF. I picked up a Moto Droid and I've not looked back. In the 8 months that I've been with Verizon I've had one dropped call. ONE. (I would be lucky to get through one CALL per week without it dropping on the iPhone).
Not sure what happened since it seemed like the entire tower was shut down for a few minutes.

Now don't get me wrong. I really liked the iPhone. So much that if it did come to Verizon it would be very tempting to get one. But since I have an iPad and tethering on the Droid I pretty much have all my bases covered already (even if the iPad solution isn't very portable pocket wise).

How about the "iPhone GP"?

I walked in and picked one up. Well, actually I walked in the day before to try one and convince myself that I didn't want one. I did a horrible job. But I guess because it was so late in the day I wasn't able to take one home with me (I came prepared to purchase either the 16 or 32GB model).

Next morning I decided to give them a call to find out when they were expecting some in again. I was told that they had 16GB models in, but they couldn't hold one for me and they couldn't tell me how many they had. I took a trip down to the Apple store and was told that "normally we don't mention what we have in stock. But I can tell you that you did pick up the last one".

I went back a few days later to buy a cover for it.

I was just about to post the exact same comment. Just a blank space where I knew there would be video...
