kune Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 ordered 2 so wife can facetime with her mom. Going to try and pick up a 3rd in about 2 hours. Apparently the local bestbuy got 120 of them in today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kune Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Actually, typing that out made me realize how unlikely it is that they'll still be there in 2 hours.Leaving the office in 3 mins, wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder StamatisX Posted March 31, 2011 Founder Share Posted March 31, 2011 Wow, that must have hurt.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreal25 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I don't have one but I played with one at our university bookstore. Screen is amazing and the touch response is equally phenomenal. It seemed nice for reading stuff like an ebook reader and you can watch videos. I am not sure what I would use it for if I owned it. (I own a Thinkpad tablet along with my M17x)Let us know how you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted April 1, 2011 Author Founder Share Posted April 1, 2011 Will do once i get it. I plan on doing a thorough review... Actually I think my wife will mostly use it most of the time. For me it'll be angry birds machine LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreal25 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 If you haven't seen/touched it... you'll see why so many folks like it. Even tho I feel it has very little use for me (and for most other people) - it has such an amazing hardware. Steve Jobs know how to sell fancy stuff to the masses - IPS screen with superb responsiveness and an SSD-style flash memory. A friend of mine has Amazon Kindle so really even as an eBook reader I'd take iPad over Kindle any day. Kindle feels like a piece of crap from 2 decades ago, in comparison. It feels technologically so far behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted April 1, 2011 Author Founder Share Posted April 1, 2011 Well they were made for different purposes. My wife has a kindle and she loves it a lot. Its much easier on the eyes to read from a kindle vs the iPad. Plus kindles battery life is like a month 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Michael Posted April 23, 2011 Author Founder Share Posted April 23, 2011 Yeah. I got the pix but I don't have the time to post them. Got some personal stuff to take care of.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 3rd time posting my responce gonna shoot this phone I'm always signed out after I type my post. I was just excited Michael. I guess your already getting stuff ready for your move. I moved into a trailer on my parents property 2 years ago and there's still stuff that's not in it's place.

iloveb00bs Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 sweet thinking about picking the first version up, since the newer ones are still so pricey. so is there a major difference between the 2? getting the gen 1 with 16gb new for $250, is that a good deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted April 25, 2011 Author Founder Share Posted April 25, 2011 well the second one is faster but the first is quite fast too,it also lacks the front camera if it's important to you.. 250$ is a great price for what you are getting imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveb00bs Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 thanks michael, prolly gonna just buy for my pops, i really don't see a need for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Wow 250 is a steal I think, I may try to pick one up at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreal25 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 $250 is a great price, I'd take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 If I had an Ipad I could check in on my favorite Forum/Site Tech | Inferno instead of this Blackberry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
