I pre ordered mine from att 3 days before it went on sale and I still don;t have it. Typical apple BS. I check yesterday and they told me the backorder was 20-28 days. Talk about a bunch of scumbags.

How can it be on backorder if they have it at other stores? That sucks you still dont have it!

I just updated my IPad2 yesterday. It took 1 hour to download it and run it's setup exec.

What's everyone's thought on the ICloud? 5GB of free storage sounds perfect for me. But I'm a little leery about it since I can't "cd" to the directory and see what ICloud is actually storing.

I cloud storage is a waste. Everything automatically syncs between all of your devices. That means you have multiple backups. the cloud really isn't need.

The only time icloud would be beneficial would be if you iphone, ipad, and pc all crashed at the same time. I just don't see that happening.

Thx, I guess I'll use the ICloud until I get an IPhone or a Mac. Having all devices automatically sync sounds a little more reliable than the ICloud backup anyway. According to the annotation for the ICloud backup, the backup will occur when you have the IPad in the locked mode and plugged in (and of course it needs to be connected to Wi-Fi).

The backup is almost immediate. It only takes a minute or two. As soon as you make a change to any device. The same change is applied across the board instantly.

For example, If I take a picture with my iphone the picture will show up on my ipad in about 2 minutes. As long as the ipad is turned on it accepts the change. It doesn't matter if it is in the locked state or in use. It doesn't not need to be plugged in either.

I am very happy with my ipad. I almost never use my laptop anymore. 95 present of my computer use at home is now done on my ipad.

Oh gotcha!

How the heck am I supposed to pick which one of these I want/need? I just want to surf the web, facebook, and you tube... that kinda stuff oh taking pictures would be cool too!

Well, the first choice is size. If you're ok with a 7" screen instead of a 10" screen, I'd go with the Nook Color or the new Nook Tablet (launching Monday). The Kindle Fire looks good, but it's pretty locked-down (limited on what you can do). The Nook Color is supposed to be dropping down to $200 soon and the Nook Tablet should be $250 (faster processor, more RAM). However, none of them have cameras.

For ~10" screen, there's the iPad and a bunch on Android choices. Most of the Android choices are pretty similar to each other. The Transformer Prime looks to be about twice as powerful as all of them (it has a quad-core processor). And it has the option to get a keyboard dock that turns it into a laptop.

Oh, one more thing about the Android choices...most of them should be getting upgrades to the new 4.0 operating system in 2012. The most significant part of that is no more tablet apps and phone apps...they'll just be Android apps that work on both.
