Ooooh right how I could I forget?

Welcome to 2010

I kid... if I didn't just empty my wallet on a new MBP I would have grabbed the same iPad.

Some iPad ordering questions:
- Which 3g should I order: Bell, Rogers or Telus? I’m on Rogers now but that may not matter.
- Should I but the wireless printer for $300 or is there a better option?
- What colours (computer and cover) are folks ordering? Is silver available (I don't see on the website a colour choice)?
- What is the docking station for? Is that only for recharging?
- The website shows a camera adaptor but I thought I couldn’t download software from my camera onto an Apple product????

Well, typing this from the exhibitors lounge at the car show off my 4.3 iPad tethered to my 4.3 iPhone hotspot, on my Rogers 6 gig data plan. Fast and flawless. Called rogers today, and confirmed there will be no charge for hotspot or tethering.

Thanks Roger!

Yup. I have the 6 gig $30 data plan from rogers on my iphone. Now maybe i can actually get over 2 to gigs of useage. This hotspot thing is awesome.

If you have an iphone 4 there is zero reason to get a 3g ipad now. My hotspot is running noticeably faster than the N router wifi that 6 other guys are sharing.

Pretty sure it's totally unlocked so it shouldn't matter.

If you're on a Mac you can get any wireless printer and download a program called printopia ... I would imagine PC's have a similar product.
- What colours (computer and cover) are folks ordering? Is silver available (I don't see on the website a colour choice)?
If I were buying I'd go black, but that's just personal preference.
- What is the docking station for? Is that only for recharging?
Mainly yes. I would also help with putting your iPad at a good angle if you were using a wireless keyboard (tall portrait orientation only though).
- The website shows a camera adaptor but I thought I couldn’t download software from my camera onto an Apple product????
Not really software, but you can download your pictures onto it. The camera adapter comes with two pieces, an SD sized adapter and a usb sized adapter. While not a true USB, it does work for some things (some keyboards and mics can plug into it for use with the newly released garageband app).

ok so on way to work this morning slipped on some ice and original iphone screen is now spidered Now do I go with a cheap 50 dollar upgrade to Iphone 3gs or pay the 170 for iphone 4? I was really hoping for it to last till iphone 5 but I guess I could always just try and sell my new one in July for 400 and upgrade again assuming apple/rogers keep the same pricing

Is Iphone 5 confirmed? I have had a 3GS for a year and was considering going to a 4. I bought my 3GS 2 months before the 4 was announced!

Should I wait?

It'll be out in July. iPhones are among the more predictable apple products.

I read a stat today that said 70% of iPad2 buyers so far have been iPad 1 customers.

That's insane.

Yeah, that's pretty crazy.

I think I might finally take the plunge myself this time around...
