In the mood for some Charlies Angels or TJ Hooker?

Sony now has an app called Crackle which has episodes of some pretty craptacular shows and some okay movies.

Just picked up the 64 gig Ipad 2 this afternoon. I am impressed! I installed Air Video and Filebrowser, and now I can basically stream all my videos, mp3s, and manga scans to it. This thing is frickin' sweet!

On impulse I even got suckered into buying that magnetic cover. Man, that thing's expensive. I haven't opened it yet. I'm thinking of returning it and just getting a crappier carrying case.

Enjoy!

Black or White? (If fotze is around, here is your chance to get me back!)

I'm actually thinking of performing surgery to add some magnets to a more tangible case I have right now. No idea if I'll just manage to wreck it. The magnet to flick it on by itself is nice.

I wanted the white, but Best Buy only had the black left, so I settled for that. I didn't want to wait any longer. :-)

Joking aside, I have to admit that I like the original black more - perhaps it gives the impression that the screen appears to be larger. Not sure.

Pfft. And lose the ability to stick it to your fridge door? You're insane.

I did this to a friend at work today who brought in his new iPad. I opened it up, placed it against my metal cabinet and asked "what would you think if I just let it drop?" and then let go. You could almost see him nearly sh** a kitten. When it didn't drop he was suddenly very excited to use it in the kitchen.

Anyone know what the stock situation in Calgary is like? Best buy isn't showing any stock in-store, was thinking of trying the Apple store at chinook.

It's not good.

For example, London Drugs forces people to call at 9pm to reserve one for the next day. And they only have about 15 to reserve...

Apple had some supply issues this quarter but they're supposed to be getting them sorted out and shipping iPads like crazy in this quarter.

I've been trying to get my mother an iPad and have been hammering the 'reserve an iPad' link for the past 5 days at 9:00. I've noticed that the 'reserve at your apple store' link has been taken away from the site but have been using the link previously posted.

Can you not reserve an iPad online anymore?

I ordered mine online and it will take about 3 weeks to get here but I thought that was better than trying to get one and the store.

i tried for a couple of days to obtain one via the reservation thru the apple store; however, i just gave up and ordered it online.......i went with the 64 GB with Wi-Fi only in black......

i am hoping that the otter box case soon becomes available as it is the only one that looks solid

It looks like 3G service for an iPad can be tacked onto your iPhone bill for $10 a month. Is this what most people are doing with their 3G iPads?

Nay! I actually opted out of the 3G version because if you've got an iPhone with Personal Hotspot enabled it acts just like 3G. Used it today and it was awesome, worked like a charm.

You should probably see someone about that. It's not healthy to just run around puking on everyone all the time.

Nor is it to masturbate to Apple commercials.

Yikes. No wonder you're vomiting if you're doing that.
