there is an app called air sharing that lets you use your iphone as a wireless flash drive. works well.Unfortunately you can't do that with an iPhone. I was hoping to be able to use my iTimeWaster as a flash drive, but nope.

Toshi said:When the iPhone originally was released I remember some heckling in the press about its size. Fast forward a few years and it actually seems relatively diminutive in comparison to its current peers. This brings up the question of "how big is too big to be pocketable?" Implied as well is "how obtrusive of a device is still acceptable to use at meetings?"
I'd argue that one end the 3.5" screen size iPhone and similar "normal sized" phones are clearly acceptable in corporate/hospital conference culture. At the other end, it's also pretty clearly taboo to bust out a netbook or laptop and bury oneself in it--it's not college mass lecture anymore. What about the middle? 4.3" giant Android phones seem ok etiquette-wise and are pocketable for men or "purseable" for women. What about the 5" Dell Streak? 7" fabled iPad nano or hypothetical Chrome OS/Android tablets? A fullsized 9.7" iPad? The iPad wouldn't fit in any pocket that I know of, but would it be culturally acceptable?
Such are the important questions that I mull over during my day while on an outside rotation where I have no clinical responsibilities...
That's way better than having a goddam tv blasting mutherfvckin FOX news in your face while you wait. Kind of upscale and classy in a way.the honda dealership my dad takes my mom's car to has done away with magazines....they hand out ipads in the service department while you are waiting on your car.

Hyundai is also giving them away with their new luxury car as a "owners manual"the honda dealership my dad takes my mom's car to has done away with magazines....they hand out ipads in the service department while you are waiting on your car.
the swipe method? I bought a captivate, and it is the snipsnapsnizzle.They should use the typing system Samung uses - its brilliant.
Well you clearly gave it a chance.....I purchased an iPad last Thursday and returned it today.
The biggest issue I had was lack of real keyboard. Because of that, my typing was slow and the whole thing felt like an awful compromise between an iPhone and a Mac. Lack of flash support didn't help matters.
My search for my ideal netbook continues. A 10" MacBook Air would be perfect (in theory).

x2LOL @ the title of this thread. Dewey Defeats Truman!
Agreed. Haven't read a single book on mine... not really into reading novels anyway. But I far prefer to read online and it's by far the best way to watch web video I've experienced to date.I think the marketing genius of the Ipad is not what it can't do, but what it does and does well.
No. Netbooks are cheap and good for surfing the web.I bought it for something small, and easily packable that was simple, for net and email. Is that not what a netbook is?
As soon as the phone ability was removed, what's the point?Just in case anyone was worried about the Samsung Galaxy Tab making inroads against the iPad, think again:

2 million shipped to distributors, but the number sold to consumers is "quite small."
I hated on the iPad until I got to play with one. My girlfriends dad had one and it was dope. She got me one for xmass and it is titties! The only downfall of it is the lack of gd flash, kills me!My girlfriend bought me one for Christmas and I really like it. Works great for what I need it for, especially just around the house....oh and like now, entertaining myself at a boring conference...
part of the issue is that the first round of android tabs didn't have a proper tablet port. i suspect thats going to change this year.Just in case anyone was worried about the Samsung Galaxy Tab making inroads against the iPad, think again:

Skyfire is working quite well for me on my Iphone. I am assuming that they have an app for the Ipad?I hated on the iPad until I got to play with one. My girlfriends dad had one and it was dope. She got me one for xmass and it is titties! The only downfall of it is the lack of gd flash, kills me!
i've had some hands on time with the galaxy. its nice, but not for what it costs and an pre 3.0 version of android.The Galaxy looks nice. So does the Creative and Nook Color. Ipad has no expandable memory. And its an Apple.
