actual uses for the iPad. v.listthemhere.

Sure... I don't think anyone ever claimed otherwise, and if you don't care about size, weight, and general awkwardness of use then by all means get a netbook or laptop.

Nothing like pulling out a mouse to use on the seat next to you in an airport terminal while your lap gets hot enough to sterilize you. I love trying to read on my laptop when I have nowhere to set it, I can go for maybe 10 minutes before I just want to throw the fucking thing for my arms and legs being so sore trying to balance it and read from the narrow viewing angle at the same time.
 
If you have notice, there was a flash upgrade today. Memory management (which the iPad and iPhone is all about - google it) and better support for multi-touch and gesture-enabled content among other things. Adobe wasn't ready for the iPad.
 
I dont use a mouse and have no ballsack issues. My laptop is base priced at $500.

Oh and I have a keyboard so I can do cool things like post on OT easily.
 
Most people can type on an iphone/ipod touch/ipad as easily and quickly as they can on a keyboard after a little time with it. I know I can, I often post from mine
 
See the problem with that device is the whole reason people buy iPhones to begin with: the consolidation of electronic devices into one. While a novelty, who the fuck is going to carry around an iPhone and that interface or a Wiimote everywhere they go? Nerds and virgins. Thats who.

Id rather carry around a Fleshlight and an industrial sized bottle of KY than that thing. It would be far more entertaining to whip out on the subway.
 
What a stupid fucking inflated list. There's no fucking way you're doing all of that with your iPod Touch.


Right off hand, I can guaran-fucking-tee you that you're not running any emulators on it. Yes, they exist. But they're absolute garbage. There's no buttons, so they have to designate part of the screen to act as invisible buttons. And SNES? Your fucking hand is going to be covering the god damned screen! I'd be surprised if you did anything more than experiment with Asteroids. It's definitely not a regular use you get out of your device.

Given that I know you're not using it to emulate games, I can reasonably conclude that it's just as unwieldy when you try doing other things in that list. In short, you're full of shit.
 
I find it odd that I've never had any of those problems. Don't need to use a mouse to use a laptop and I'm not sure how one would hold an Ipad any differently than a laptop. My laptop just rests in my lap and I tilt the screen back and I can see everything perfectly, I imagine Ipads aren't held much differently.
 
I am pretty sure Ipads don't have webcams... So the whole video chat thing would probably be a bit... imaginative. Especially over wifi since Ipads are horribly glitchy over wifi, so bad that some universities have banned them for fucking up their networks.
 
If you're looking for functionality that's unique to the iPad, you're not going to find it. There's certainly a lot that it can do, but nothing that it's great at doing besides looking pretty and being excellent at music playback (as is the case with all iPods). The iPad is a jack of all trades and a master of none.
